eaglescout526 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I almost wonder if it would be worth it to put a weather pack connector for all the sockets just to make replacing them in the future easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesse J Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 ok well spring break is this week and I am going to try to fix my turn signals and if I have the time maybe get to building a tcase skid plate but I doubt that will happen. how many wires are supposed to be coming into the housings? I don't think I have enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesse J Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 my front ones work (they don't blink yet don't have the flasher in) my rear ones are messed up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
derf Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It never hurts to be stocked up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 oh thats why well off to napa to fill them up. In all seriousness I am having a hard time finding a wiring diagram that is helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 both of the sockets I have have 3 wires and the other ones have 4-6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdog Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 3 hours ago, Jesse J said: both of the sockets I have have 3 wires and the other ones have 4-6 they should be 3 wires on the right side and possible 6 on the left, the left side feeds the right side other then turn signals. the dark blue ones should be the parking lamps/taillamps the black is ground and common on both lights the gray with a black strip should be left turn signal and brown should be right turn signal the last two are also brake lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdog Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Pictures of taillight wiring and we'll help you decipher what's bad. You are welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Ok so the passenger side is the side with the new sockets and things. I have no clue if that is right I just wired it how it was originally wired or at least my best attempt. Sorry the pictures aren’t great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdog Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Do any of the lights work in the rear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Ok so some serious funkiness none of the reverse lights work. The passenger brake/ running light gets darker when the pedal is depressed. Nothing else works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 This scares me though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdog Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Looks like a broken bulb, when you say darker, sounds like the wires are flipped. As for the reverse lights does it have the trans fuse in the fuse block. Also do you have a test light? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eaglescout526 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I would like to add that you can put the bulbs in wrong in the tail lamp sockets. I have done and seen it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Oh ok. I still need to take a stab at it I’ve been working on other things Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted Thursday at 03:25 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:25 PM ok early this morning I wired up the rear sockets and everything on the passenger side. the drivers brake light works . but the rear turn signal is just permanantly on drivers side. and he drivers side reverse light works correctly. the passenger reverse light is backwards on when forward off when backwards. the passenger turn signal is always on and the brake light doesnt come on.
