Rick -
I have the diagram and I only see one flasher in the circuit. Can't imagine why one would not simply change it out if it went bad, instead of adding one in the overhead console. Must have been an add on headlight flasher (hope so) and I'll work on it...right after the water pump, engine flush, and oil sludge removal prescription from Paul!
Thanks...
If you think that someone added one to the overhead console compartment, then try fishing just one wire up there. It was installed there by Superior, not some previous owner. The one in the engine compartment most likely was the add on flasher. In my limited experience, I have only found two types of flashers that have been installed by the factory on a Superior ambulance. The motor driven Cole Hersee, and the Baader Brown unit that looks like a squatty soup can with a tin cover, and has a few terminals sticking out of it. I am not saying that Superior couldn't have used a Dietz, but I just haven't seen one.
If I were doing this project, I would determine which circuits are still working properly, and map them. Then take the next circuit that isn't working, and attempt to get that one working. I alway go on the assumption that it is a simple fix first, by checking for voltage at the switch, and then seeing if there is voltage at the location where the appliance is that the switch controls. Many times, you will find a bad fuse, burned out light bulb, or just a poor ground. In the case of electrical motors, many times it has just frozen from not being used, and will just take a little lubrication and coaxing to get it turning. Don't cut any wires, and don't jump any circuits. If you experience cut wires, try to determine where they go and where they are from. Then put them back together. If the factory wanted to have blind cut wires, they would have done in where you can't see. I also have proof that both Superior and Miller Meteor did have some wires that were not used and cut off at the ends. I have never found a wire that was just cut in half and left untaped. That is the work of an amateur electrician. With patience, you will get everything working, but it will take a lot of time. I spent over 20 hours trying to get the horn siren circuit working on my 1963 Pinner, because it was a compound problem of someone cutting wires, and a ground failure within the steering column. It was only after I had gotten everything back the way it originally was wired, that I found the steering column problem. The person that didn't understand the problem used the solution of cutting wires, and tapping into other wires in an attempt to resolve the problem. It didn't work, and their final resolve was to put a horn button in a hole on the dash, along with a couple of toggle switches hanging down and taped together.
