I also own Alfa and Ducati.
Matter of passion, even I have never had any issue with my Alfa. But, with Ducatis...
Ciao

Never personally owned an alfa,quite a few fiat's in my youth. 124 spyder and coupes. They provided a lot of fun when the roads did not have ice or snow.Tended to want to swap the front for the back at the most inappropriate times when it got slick out. Exciting to say the least. Corrosion was the biggest problem.
One side note on the hazard setup, It is very important to fuse the circuit to prevent a fire if you should forget to turn off your turn signals
and turn on the hazards. A fire would certainly get you noticed in a traffic jam

You could use a DPDT switch and use a common fuse or even if you wanted to get fancy,opposing voltages are also possible.
But the quick, chaep and easy way would be the circuit I presented.

I lookeed just some relays for my ST2 from my shelves and i found 2 flasher realys with diffrent letter codes, so i am wondering, if someone knows more about those flasher relay codes:
Another relay have "B" and "L"
and another have "X" and "L" ...stamped to they poles.
I check from 907 relay and there are: "31" its ground, "49", its input and "49a" what is output, but that dont help at all...
Would it be, that "L" means Line as be input and "X" means load(output) ????
Hva esomeone list of all those codes??? Mybe some internet guru can help now...

I really dont know, as there is no such marks.

But i quess, that they are from some older cars. I have noticed, that new relays have also one pole for earth(as electonics need also earth to work)... My ST2 relay seems to be electrical, as its mention there and it have 3 poles.

Thank You, Higgy VERY MUCH
Looks, that another is jap and another is usa(or U.K.) modell relay and i can quess, its JUST so, as i look closer letter/number "styles" in relays!
Jap relay: B = input L = output
Usa(U.K.) relay: X = input L = output
Thanks again Higgy!
