United Pacific5007R Heavy Duty Turn Signal Switch

This is a heavy built unit. It works great when wired according to the included instructions. I used an after market hose clamp after removing the included one and screw because it did not seem good enough. Some reviews say it makes a sound when activated but the one I received was silent. The reviews are all over the place on the recommended flasher for this unit. My vehicle is custom wired and I switched from OEM lights to LED lights. The flasher you need is CEC unit ‎EF33RL. For LED or combination of lights this one will work, I know because I bought about three flashers before I found one that would work. The secret is getting a flasher with three terminals, that are labeled X, L, and P. AND has an extra ground wire coming out of it. Wire it so X is the incoming power source, L goes to your lights, P goes to the blue wire coming from this turn signal switch and the extra ground wire to ground. This allows the internal brain on the flasher to operate regardless of whether you have LED or incandescent or a combination of bulbs. AND makes the indicator in this signal switch to operate as it should.

Works Great

Good value, easy installation and work well

Can't get the indicator light on the switch body to light up .Either the lights work or the indicator works. May be the wrong blinker relay. Instructions don't tell me what to use mine looks just like their picture

This unit is good enough for the money and the intended function, and I now have flashers as well as a turn signal. I installed it on my baja bug, which previously had a simple three way switch wired up for the turn signal. It does work well, but....The biggest issue with this unit is the mounting clamp. It was too long for my steering column, and when I cut it back to fit I couldn't get the end re-threaded into the worm gear on the side of the unit where it would fit against the steering column. After trying to work it back into the clamp feed slot, it eventually bent, perforated and broke off. Luckily I had an extra 3 inch hose clamp from the hardware store; after loosening the screws on the worm drive cover, I was able to work the end of new hose clamp inside and feed it all the way through to the exit slot. Then I screwed the cover down again and just tightened the clamp onto the steering column (not using the turn signals tightening screw- just the new clamps own tightening screw). I think this actually works better than the unit's clamp would have.My other issue came from how my car is wired. The unit has a good diagram for how to wire up to your lights, but my car already had a flasher installed and was wired to simple three way switch. So basically I was wiring this up as a simple three way switch as well (different than the diagram). The biggest question was how to connect the blue wire, which illuminates the bulb on the turn signal. I ended up wiring black to power, yellow and green to the left and right signal lights (previously wired to the flasher), then I wired the brown and orange wires together to the blue wire (brown and orange are connected internally with yellow and green; I think it goes yellow & orange are together, and green and brown are together.. not sure.. you'll see it in the directions). This jumps power to the bulb only when the either the turn signals or the flasher signal is activated. Otherwise, if the blue is wired up as instructed, the bulb was always illuminated (in my car, anyways; your vehicle may be different). Pretty simple, but it took me a bit to figure it out since it was different than the unit's instructions.Anyway- I definitely recommend this unit but suggest that you get a different clamp to use for mounting the turn signal unit and be prepared to deviate from the instructions if you are replacing an existing turn signal.
