OK so now the AX trailer is done, but I still have a issue with the trailer lights being very dim to not on at all. I don't believe there is a ground problem with the trailer since the lights work when hooked up to my truck. So looking at my trusty haynes manual (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) I am trying to figure out the pinouts for the taillights.
The both housing has three sets of pins Rf 54 58. D side P side Rf 54 58 58 54 Rf 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 I took an old housing apart. To me it looks like pin 58 goes to both the turn signal and brake light. Pins 54 upper & lower, upper goes to brake light and lower to turn signal. Pins Rf upper & lower,upper goes to reverse light and lower to the gound bar of the light housing So..... a standard flat 4 wire trailer plug you have white, brown, yellow, and green. White is ground, brown is running lights, yellow is Lt turn & brake, and green is Rt turn & brake. Are you with me so far (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) So how should I have the 4 wire plug wired into my taillights? |

It appears you will have to do what the previous owner of my race car did when he flat towed it for 15 years; Wire the turn and brake separate which means a larger plug. The brake light wires are the red/gray and gray/black and the turn are black/green and black/white. I would use some of those piggy back connectors and a 6 pin plug on both the car and trailer. That should cure the dimness problem.
