GALLS TRAFFIC BACKER
FS016 AND FS027
CAUTION
Some vehicle manufacturer's may not allow
the use of this product on the vehicle's they
manufacture. Please consult your operator's
manual prior to installation. Also, make sure
you fully read and understand all instructions
before attempting to install the Flashback
Flasher.
The Traffic Backer utilizes the existing brake and back up lights
on any vehicle with a 12 VDC negative ground system. A
properly installed Traffic Backer will alternate the brake lights,
EXCLUDING the third brake light with the back up lights at a
constant rate of 2.4 flashes per second. Alternating red and
white light creates an effective warning signal to the rear of the
vehicle to greatly reduce rear end collisions.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING: Mount in the vehicle's trunk near the brake lights.
CONNECTIONS: Use 18 gauge wire on all extensions except
the white wire where 16 gauge wire is recommended.
GREEN WIRE: Connect to a convenient reliable ground.
BLUE, ORANGE, YELLOW & PINK WIRES: Determine if the
vehicle has a three or four wire brake system.
THREE WIRE SYSTEM
Turn signal and brake light use the same lamp.
1. Locate and cut the wire that feeds power to the left turn
signal/brake light.
2. Connect the blue wire to the lead that goes back to the
signal/brake lights.
3. Connect the orange wire to the remaining lead that goes to
the front of the vehicle.
4. Locate and cut the wire that feeds power to the right turn
signal/brake light.
5. Connect the yellow wire to the lead that goes back to the
right turn signal/brake light.
6. Connect the pink wire to the remaining lead that goes to the
front of the vehicle.
FOUR WIRE SYSTEM
Turn signal and brake light use separate lamp.
1. Locate and cut the wire that feeds power to the brake lights.
2. Connect the blue and yellow wires together and then
connect them to the lead that goes back to the brake lights.
3. Connect the orange and pink wires together and then
connect them to the remaining lead that goes to the front of the
vehicle.
RED WIRE: "T" or tap the red wire into the vehicle's back up
light wire.
WHITE WIRE: Connect through a 20 amp fuse and a switch
(capable of handling 20 amp) directly to the positive post of the
battery or other high current power source. We recommend the
use of a fuse ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT THE FLASHER
SYSTEM TO A CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSIBLE LINK.
BROWN WIRE (OPTIONAL): Connect to deck lights to flash
at the same time as the back up lights.
RED/BLACK WIRE (OPTIONAL): See Figure 1 for connection
