ABSTRACT:
A vehicle turn signal indicator control system for left and right turn signals in which the turn signal lever has three positions, on, off and intermediate. The system has circuitry that controls the number of pulses flashed by the left or right indicator lights when the signal lever is in intermediate position and automatically returns the lever to its off position after the predetermined number of pulses have flashed.
The system includes a turn signal lever, a dip switch with at least two dual position toggle switches and control circuitry for energizing the signal indicators based on the position of the turn signal lever and the toggle switches.
