eaglescout526 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Do any of the lights work in the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdog Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 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.
