Blink headlights and/or marker lights?

With my move from an Airstream I lost an ICC switch. I think Cruzer had a schematic for wiring two buttons to flash the headlights or flash the marker lights? But the file has been deleted? Has anyone else solved this problem? Where did you install the switches?

Wow, that was a while ago. I found the old file on my hard drive and uploaded it to my server. You can click on This link to access it. It's an Acrobat "pdf" file so you can save it on your system and print it out as desired. It involved 3 relays (CR1, CR2, CR3) and 2 pushbuttons (PB1, PB2) or momentary rocker switches of some sort.

Thanks Mark. I'm surprised no one else has asked? Do other models already have something?

Dennis,

I also liked the idea of having the ICC switch to flash the marker lights and/or headlights. A couple years ago, I used Marks schematic and added the functionality to our rig. Check out This ICC Thread for a diagram I made from Marks. The only difference is I made a wiring diagram of it and included the standard pin numbers on the relays.

I think all the rigs should come with the featuere.

Thanks Joe. what a great contribution. I'm still confused why this is not standard equipment?

To a point, it is standard equipment. I did not have it on my 2003 Suncruiser but it is on my Allegro Bus. I also noticed it on the Newmars I looked at but they were all diesels as well. I don't recall if the gas chassis Newmars had it or not. It's up to the manufacturer to decide whether or not to put it in and "generally" most diesels have it and most gassers don't. However, there's always exceptions to the rule.

The nice thing about a diesel chassis is that many coach builders order them (Freightliner or Spartan) with the SmartWheel. That way you have those buttons right on the steering wheel which is very handy because the headlamp and ICC flash switches are right by the cruise control and wiper/washer buttons and can be actuated with your thumbs without ever removing your hands from the steering wheel.
