Turn signal switch pigtail.

Post by billybob »

Does anyone know where I could fine the pigtail connection that screws to the back of the M-series turn signal switch? Thanks.

Hi billybob,
Not sure what you mean by "pigtail", but if you're looking for the 8-pin Cannon plug connector, here's a new one: https://eriksmilitarysurplus.com/comsfortusis.html

Might get more hits by posting your question in the "Wanted" section?

Good luck!

Thank you Ron. That would work but I'd like to find one complete with wires. A good used one would be fine.

Hi billybob,
Ok, you want the entire harness assembly.
The harnesses I've seen are NOS for the M35 (Deuce).

Would have to research if that harness was ever made with various wire lengths to fit different trucks or if "one size fits all".

Erik also sells the 3-pin Cannon plug for the flasher, so with a few feet of 14 gauge Prestolite wire it would be fairly easy (and possibly cheaper) to build a new one.

Thanks Ron, that's probably what I'll have to do. Even if I had one with wires attached I'll have to add to them anyway. No problem.

Just a reminder when you are looking for specific info try to post which specific item, kit or jeep model you are asking about. There are two military turn signal kits. An older style from the 50's with a large distribution box and a more modern style from the 60's that is more compact.

If I was going to compete at shows say in the motor pool class where the added turn signal kit would not detract from my overall show scores then I would go with the 60-70 year old kits. If I wanted a good driver I would go with a today issue civvy turn signal switch kit there are several brand new choices out there and yes they are available in 24V as well.

You should peruse my photo sub-album for turn signal stories: http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules. ... _album.php

You are probably looking for this harness: Image

Here's the instructions with part numbers listed in the installation steps. The harness with plugs didn't change because it was installed roughly in the same location for all three units. The only wire length variations are the lamp power wires and the proper gauge and estimated lengths are given in the instructions.

If you google the cable assembly PN 11630528 or it's NSN 6150-00-308-2781 you get quite a few hits.

Thank you Wes and everyone else. I had to order the bare connector and it will have to be wired. That is no problem whatsoever
