Please reduce the size of your pictures before posting them. It's made this thread impossible to read. I'm not even going to try.

Why not dump the pic
and just ask where to get
Parts for a 30 year old
Honda?


Ask a Honda dealer or parts outlet,

Very good, thank you. Now i can read it.

Manually wiring this thing is not going to be an option for you. There are multiple circuits and they are complex. You are going to have to get your hands on a working switch somehow.

Unless I'm missing something you need this switch and have a pic suggests the part is out. Take it to a place or match it up AYOR with some web only parts place of your choice for a lower price.


Honda had what you wanted but you don't or can't pay that. I just showed one of two found in seconds for much less but not free.


You want to somehow hotwire this - fine it's a 30 year old Honda so go hack it totally with a toggle switch if you want with generic stuff for lawn and garden equipment still AYOR but fuse it.


A good hack job will still cost you most of the correct part and probably will have some other issue for hacking it up. What do you want to do, have a car or not over headlights which you must have of course?

You need to forget about the "hot wiring" idea. It really can't be done.Turn signals share the same circuit with brake lights and the switch cancels one to use the other so that's nothing you could wire up.
