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? |

My diagram didn't turn out right, but I know what you are saying. Ok here is what I got. The driver side housing Pin 58 Upper to white (tail lights), Pin 54 Upper to Red (brake), 54 lower yellow(lt turn). The pin 54 lower on the passenger side to green(rt turn). these go in to a housing then out of that Rt & Lt tail ights to brown, White to frame ground on the 914, yellow Lt turn & brake , Green Rt turn & brake. Chris I am using my 914 to haul the AX trailer. Attached image(s) |
