Hello,

Bill suggested that $10 buys a ready made converter.  I decided to buy one.

Mark said that the auto store converters were the 4 diode solution.  I say
that's too bad since the turn signal display is blocked if the brake lights
are on.  I would rather have a "correct" solution, so now I'm back to
building the converter.

Juha took the time to draw the schematic of his two relay system.  This is
the same as one of the designs as I came up with.  Since Juha took the time
to draw his schematic, I drew the schematic for my other solution below.
 You circuit designers out there just might find it amusing.

Thanks for all the comments,
