Pat Curran Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) 1967 would be the first year for hazard warning flashers as standard equipment. The switch would be on the right side of the steering column. The one in the photo is for the directional signal.

RivNut Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hopefully France recognizes the year and doesn’t require you to retrofit an aftermarket unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELECTRIC diagram perhaps ? Here are a couple of examples of the type of 4-way flasher that you could add to your car. They can be mounted under or in the dash. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224373970041?hash=item343dbb1479:g:GXEAAOSwbuFgQUD2 https://www.ebay.com/itm/184785960173?hash=item2b0619fced:g:qKUAAOSwIV1gghY5 Bill Edited April 23, 2021 by Riviera63 revise text (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Curran Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 GM offered accessory flashers through their dealer network for a period of time before they became standard equipment in 1967. You can see them listed in vintage accessory brochures with pictures. My 1966 Corvette has one that was dealer installed when the car was new. They are usually fitted under the dash and the knob will flash red when it is activated by pulling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one I listed will ship to France. The second one ships overseas but, did not list France. They might if you ask. E-bay makes it very easy for a seller to ship overseas. I have sent many parts to different locations in Europe. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne R Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hello, actually over the years ,i have fitted about 3 hazard light switches to Buicks, and European classics, the last was a 65 Riviera i sold about 7 years ago, the reason is simple,--- it is a high safety requirement i believe, in my opinion , and it is so easy to fit, most times i fitted under the dash--just left of steering column , I actually i am going to do the same on my current Electra Convertible ASAP. A photo of the last i purchased ebay while back.--- and it worked marvelous. i realize its not authentic----i dont mind that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I see no issue using one of those vintage aftermarket flashers. They were fairly common in the day. My '64 GP has one which appears to have been dealer-installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello , cquisuila when you obtain one, dont hesitate to ask ---re fitting very easy, there is a few for sale now, all have the built in flasher, most have clamp stile connectors ,and at end of wire for connecting,-and built in fuse,--most times only require 4 wires to connect, black ---ground, red for power , and although there is 4 wires for actual lights only usually have to connect 2 wires, use a cheap test light from the behind the light switch, fit one first then check for front or rear, then do the last one.--power can go from cigarette lighter wire, or back from fuse box.--. photo of the last one i purchased ebay US--it was a japanese one, when fitted --you only see the red flashing light they work great and safe help from being rear ended.----regards.

RivVrgn Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Had one in my 65 but, what I thought was strange is four of the six wires are red. Hmm. Did not work though, the flasher relay on the end was missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Appears to be in good condition. Just buy a reguler 3 pin flasher number "552" available at ANY auto parts store.. Edited April 26, 2021 by telriv (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Philip sorry Philip, i'm hanging on to this one. I did see a few on eBay though. there are different model numbers, not sure if that matters. there is one of these (no. 127) on there for $75 and I think he ships worldwide. The challenge would be the wiring. what wire goes where. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Four wires, four corner bulbs. A 12V + from a BAT source and a ground. If it were me, I’d be extending the four wires to the bulbs. Trying to hack into that flat wire that runs under the the seats and carpet could only lead to trouble.

RivVrgn Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It was hooked up on my car, i just didn't want to leave it. It was spliced into the wires under the dash and mounted left of the steering column. It has the ends that pierce the wires and slide the rubber boot over it. Did not pay attention were the wires went because i wasn't going to use it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 On some 1st. gen. Rivs & full size cars the flat wiring/ribbon that goes to the rear under the seats, depending on options can have one or two of the ribbon wire not being used that can be utilized.

Riviera63 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I purchased an NOS Roberk Model 800 flasher back in March. Had it installed yesterday. Mounted under the dash to the right of the steering column. There was one hex screw there already so mounting was easy and close to the 4 turn signal wires going to the turn signal switch. Looks nice and clean. Works like a charm. Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGerman Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 You will be able to find aftermarket emergency light flasher here in europe as well. Bosch and Hella have them for vintage cars. Just be careful, there a special ones for US classic cars which do not have separate yellow flash lights, but using brake light as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say you need 4 NEW corner bulbs ? you can't use the existing lights ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I wasn’t saying get four new bulbs. I was saying there are four red wires and four bulbs - in your car. Because all four flash simultaneously, there is no need to run a certain red wire to a certain corner wire. Just attach any red wire to any corner wire. A fused hot wire and a ground wire to the switch and you’re in business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protrash63 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 For a short time I worked on some classic vehicles for a temp job for a friend that basically does newer work. He didnt have time to screw around with the old cars. ...anyway, I remember making a hazard flasher in the harness but cant remember how we did it.. Just patched in a flasher on the output to the park lites and added a switch I think. Its been about 6-7 years so I cant remember exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and I think that if it's anything like the ones at the front of this thread, the unit includes a flasher so you don't have to wire into the flasher for your turn signals. Easy peasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XframeFX Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I did this and added a discrete 3rd high mounted stop lamp. Lots to consider after finally sourcing a 4-pole switch. The circuit above is off the direction signal fuse, a switched source. I would think you'd want 4-ways operable off of a live 12V feed. I recall my push/pull switch was sourced from American auto wire. All those on ebay kits are old stock from days gone by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 You will notice in the wiring diagram for the unit above, the 12V is coming from a BAT source (not an IGN source.) in the diagram that cquisuila posted earlier, the 12V is coming from the ignition switch. To get the flashers to work in this scenario, anytime you would want four way flashers, you would have to leave your ignition switch on all the time.
