A total dimwit question......

Hi guys. My apologies for being a total dimwit and not knowing my voltage from my amps.

I'll be honest and admit that I registered here only to seek advice on what is probably a ridiculously simple thing.

I have a motorbike which has an indicator light on the dashboard panel, so low down that you just can't see it while riding the bike. Consequently, one can often leave the indicators on after the turn, which is both annoying and dangerous.

I don't want to fit a cissy-buzzer because everyone will ridicule me so I'd prefer to place a warning light somewhere else on the bike (higher up). Because the original warning light is built-into the dash, there's no "tagging on to it.

Ideally, I'd like to break into the actual 12v indicator feeds and introduce a small single warning light that would flash regardless of which indicator was on.

I've just spent a while drawing a remarkably comprehensive and technical circuit diagram. Perhaps some Stephen Hawking prodigy could fill in the gaps for me

I thank you!

Tom

 

MANY THANKS!

I'll pop over to the local electronics shop tomorrow and get a couple of diodes.

Thanks again.

I've just searched for that diode on MAPLINS and it didn't find it. Is there another designation??
