    I'm planning to do rewire, and while looking at this minimal wiring diagram, I realized that there are no turn signals anywhere on it. Either that or I'm blind. Does anyone know of any minimal wiring that includes turn signals? Thanks ;)

    No, that's correct. This is the one that also doesn't have a horn. It's minimalist to the point of being illegal is most states and countries, but a lot of places don't do annual inspections....

    add a horn off the fuse box. wire to hot ground to button other side of button completes ground for horn to sound. We don't need stinkin' signals, that is why we have hands!!!

    I'd rather have my left hand available for the clutch.

    Yes there is. It's on for "On" and for "P".

    Not in that diagram it isnt. Tailight is only energized when in (p) its not even connected to the (on) circuit

    Look at the symbol for the ignition switch compared to the symbol for the symbols for the dimmer or brake switches. Notice how the ignition switch has a large, curved, contact, rather than a point one? That's because the switch is designed to have different contacts engaged at different points when it's turned; so tail is engaged when the key is turned to P, and still engaged when it's turned to "On."

    How hard do you think this loom would be to wire up? I need to get rid of the spaghetti monster under my seat.
