Turn signal wire help
Can anyone lend me some knowledge? Here’s the problem I’m trying to resolve.
i have a pair of Rizoma rear turn signals. 4 wire.
Black (ground)
white (running light)
red (brake light)
green (yellow turn signal light)
Now coming off the 2018 fat bob I have 4 wires going into a 3 wire plug. However the 4 wires are:
ground
running light
brake light (only)
turn signal light —-however this same wire activates the turn signal flasher, but also the brake light. Turn signal over rides the brake light on this wire.
So i need to find a way to hook up the green turn signal wire on the Rizoma to a turn signal only wire off the Harley. I tried connecting to the purple wire on the front turn signal, to see if it would get the rear signal to flash.. but nothing. Not sure why it isn’t working.
Thanks for any insight or help in advance...

I guess essentially what i'm looking to do is wire the rear signals so they are no longer run/turn/brake in-one. The only way i can think of is to wire the turn further up the chain. Just not sure where to tap into???

Ok so have been studying electrical diagrams etc and I think a solution to connect 3 wire to a 4 wire run/brake/turn signal would be:
ground to ground
running light to running light
split the purple turn signal/brake wire in two. One end go directly to the turn signal wire. The other wire in diode in line then continue to the brake light.
Does this sound correct?
