- Not the best vid but you get the idea...forgot to mention there are TWO separate wires for wig-wag as one is for the FRONT headlights, and one is for the REAR brake lights.
Braking and turn signals WILL override the flashing.
Rear wig wag on a 11-14 is wire 2. As you have wire 1 for headlight wig wag, I found wire 2 is the rear lights
Hey thanks for making this video man, I recently got a 2010 police charger and was wondering what the hell the grey box was. Gonna wire this up for fun.
Glad it helped, the wig-wag function is pretty much the only useful thing you can use it for. If you search google for the "Dodge Charger Police Upftter Guide" it maps out all the various functions, mostly just signals for various functions of the vehicle that can be used to trigger police equipment.
Yeah I saw the upfitters guide, super useful. Now my difficult task is finding a 12v supply for pins 1 and 2. Where did you tap off from? Cause most of my harnesses are dead.
It is actually the other gray square connector that has the power feeds, some are constant power, and a few are ignition only (power only when the vehicle is in "run" position)
The fuses for them are in the fuse box under the hood,
You see, my dad saw that in the upfitters guide, and told me to check it out. Got it working. Thank you very much for all your help!
I have the two wires but it’s hard for me to understand how I can apply 12 volts to them if there single wires if that makes sense? From the 12v plug you’re getting a positive and a negative.
what color are the wires that plug in to the 12v cigarrete plugs mine have been cut.im triying to wire it back
I put a police console in as well and didn't mess with the VSIM at all. Different make an model than you have.
Excuse me if this is a dumb comment, but if the wires are cut how exactly are you going to get a different pattern to work?
Asking both because your video has those 2 wires cut, as does my ‘12 charger.
Thanks, Kev.
I have a 2013 interceptor charger. Same spaghetti in center console that has not been tended to. All of a sudden yesterday when I go to start it I have no cluster lights. No crank/no start. . Only thing I get is Courtesy lights in doors and trunk. Any thoughts?
Is there a way to change the pattern of the wig wag
can i grab constant power from the grey plug an keep led directional bar on without acc on or engine on
Man, yer Canadian af ! I'm selling my VSIM to avoid the felony.
What felony? That's the dumbest thing I've read all day
Bait28 😂😂😂
Do I need to put a fuse before the switch?
I have 2010 police charger and can’t get horn to work, any idea what may be the problem? I’ve checked for cut wires under dash etc. and found none. All police wiring was removed prior to me purchasing
You have to trace the wire back from the horns, usually they splice it behind the glove box on the right side where the main wiring harnesses connect. They do this to use the horn ringer circuit to change siren tones.
Hi!
So I have a 2012 charger police with the VSIM module left in the vehicle at auction. I followed your instructions and snipped the two wires indicated. I have a couple of questions. I just purchased a 12 fault cigarette lighter plug from AutoZone just to test the functionality. I’m not getting any reactivity when connecting the wires. Does the 12V source need to be grounded? I don’t have access to tools right now to test whether the wires are even live or not and I also am not savvy enough to understand the outfitter guide. Just was hoping for some quick help and reference.
Thanks
Jerod
What are you trying to do, just activate the wig-wags, or wire in a cig lighter plug, or both ?
The cig plug will require a power wire of 12V and a ground, which you can connect to any radom bolt in the center console area, I used the bolts that hold the keyless antenna bracket (long rectangular black module)
For the wig-wag trigger wires all they need is 12V no ground.
If you want leave me your email and we can discuss further
Thanks this is great man! I've got some strobes that are mounted in the brake lights what does activate those as well? Or is that not a stock option for these. 2008 pursuit charger
They would have been installed afterwards.
@@QuaabQueb it's pretty tight in the stock taillight harness but I believe you... So I need to buy a controller?
@@mrreviewsitall7496 The probably taped it along with the the harness. The controller on these should not be too far down the wire. They may have chopped it off. The controller comes as one piece with the light head. If you google whelen vertex you will see what it should look like, though note many manufactures produce these. I recommend removing the light heads altogether, you don't want that crap in your car.
hey man, I just bought a 2012 Dodge Charger police pursuit and I am wondering how do I hookup the lights. The fog lights, when I flip a little switch in the center console, only one turns on blue as a police light. I have the front lights, and the ones that stay on the grill and I was wondering how do I hook everything up
You have to trace the wires and find out what they did. All that was installed afterwards by the police department. Could have been hooked up any way. A word of caution, check to see if even having such equipment installed on your car is legal before driving it around.
Hey are your separated so your front wig wags go on one switch and year rear with bags go to a different switch?
I don't use them but sure you can do that
Any idea why this wouldn’t work on mine? It’s a 2012. I’ve tried applying power to both the wires and neither activate....
Car has to be running. Make sure you indeed have the right wires, and that the harness is plugged in to the VSIM box
Chargèro - still doesn’t work. Do you know if there is a certain fuse that this goes off of?
@@ptownskierpolice mode/ lighting has to be activated
What was part number for the usb port, I want to install one in my 15
On the 2015's I believe it is different. Google 68294075AA you will see it is a rectangular style now.
Is there a way to disable them if you dont want to have wig wags?
Just don't connect them....
Is there a plug to plug into this harness so you don’t have to splice? Or is splicing the only way to go?
Yeah but it's basically a pigtail so the other end of the plug just has stripped lead on it.
Part numbers: 68251804AA 68213591AA 68251805AA
This is done because you need a switch for the features.
does it also come with factory tail light wig wag an do u khow the pig tail part number for the white plug
Yes read the description.
Look at the police upfiter guide it has diagrams for wire color and cavity position in the connector.
Hi I have the R/T with mostly Whelen equipment cause I live in CT and It’s two towns over. I have a stock center console. Would this trick work on non pursuit models, or do I need the Whelen module, I thing does front and rear.
Factory flasher is only on the police model. You would need a aftermarket flasher.
Thanks, I got the Whalen flasher. Does multiple patterns.
@@htrago5581 yeah they're pretty neat how they can do more than one and how they can speed up and slow down
Does this work on a 2013
Yes
Hi, do you know how or any information on how to make the led lights on the new chargers wig wag?
Same thing as I show here. If its a regular model Charger you will have to install a flasher your self. Only the police model as the factory VSIM module, all the connections are shown in the Police Up-fitter Guide
Videos from Québec Do you know of any ways to do the flasher or what to use I am an auxiliary for my local department and some times we use our personal cars to do simple traffic duties. I have an sxt charger 2016 and I am trying to get the front LEDs and rear LEDs to wing wag.
Yes as I said you would have to buy a wig-wag flasher are wire it in yourself.
Regular civilian models do not have a factory module you can activate. Only the police model.
Videos from Québec Alright I wonder if I could get a factory vsim and install that? thank you for your help!
Unfortunately not others have tried plugging in a VSIM module from a police charger in to the regular charger and it does not work.
You can install your own wig-wag flasher, if you have experience with wiring and electronics. If not you would be best to take it to a local emergency vehicle up fitter and have them do it. Ask your department who they use.
Also check your local laws carefully, consult with the DMV and make sure you are indeed allowed to have such equipment, and make such modifications to the factory equipment to your car. Some places have little to no regulation on the matter, others are more regulated. I'll throw an example.... you install, or have installed, a flasher, other emergency lighting etc... on your car and it somehow fails or malfunctions, even worse an accident results.You will be in a would of trouble. These are the things many people do not think about because they reply on "I heard" or "I thought"
What makes the rear lights alternate flash on a '13 model?
Wut
I've seen the leds on the trunk and around the tail lights flash in different patterns. Didn't know if you found that secret or maybe another circuit is needed like a speed turtle flasher.
@@charlierumsfeld6626 oh that. No that is done with an aftermarket module that is spliced in to the power wires feeding the light bar. Not a good idea as such modules often cause the individual LEDs to fry. The Tazer from Zautomotive however has a feature called "light show" witch does the same thing.
@@QuaabQueb thanks
What make and model console is this?
Havis
where can i find the upfitter guide?
It's online just search for it it will come up.
@@QuaabQueb will do.. thanks I have two chargers i got for my sons. the dam horn/high low beam/ turn signals / wipers do not work. i changed the switch and clock spring.. still wont work i think the wires have been cut when the police stuff was removed but cant seem to find the prob.. Do you know of any specific place to check that the normaly would splice in the harness? thanks for any help you can give
@@shawnburnes6141 usually in the panel on the lower right passenger side foot well. You have to remove the glove box to access it. It is where the main harness come in. Wipers no reason why that should have been disconnected.
@@QuaabQueb cool, ill check it out. Thanks again
@@shawnburnes6141 Good luck.
Any way you could contact me to help me with my charger for the wig wags?
Yes, what do you need to know
Chargèro I applied power to the violet or orange trace wires and nothing happened. I’m thinking the vsim doesn’t have power or something idk
Chargèro do you have a Facebook so I can message you on there?
If it is plugged in it should work fine. Also note the car has to be in the "run" position. Wig wag functions from the vsim will not work if the car is off on in "acc"
Chargèro I tried it with the car on and it still doesn’t work. Does the small gray connector have to be plugged in cuz I noticed on yours it wasn’t?
can i grab constant power from the grey plug an keep led directional bar on without acc on or engine on
Yes you can, just use a simple tester or look at the "police up-fiter guide" online, some circuits are constant hot (always available power even with car completely off) and the others ignition controlled, so the car must be in the ACC or RUN position.
I would definitely recommend always having the motor running if you are going to have equipment running, especially a directional bar. If it is halogen it will drain the battery fairly quickly, if it is LED you can get away with it a little longer, but it does not take long to discharge the battery below 11volts, once it gets that low there is not enough voltage to start the car.
I purchased a charger any idea how to regain use of factory horn to pass state inspection
Yes common problem, it was cut somewhere to trigger siren change tones via pressing the horn ringer, you have to trace the wire and find out where they cut it, Start by taking the front bumper cover off, could be they simply unplugged it and cut the connector there, or under the passenger side dash usually.
Chargèro thanks i wired a horn to a wire that went out front and used a button temporarily
