Wiring for running, brake and turn signals, for flat towing, behind tow vehicle Options

[DanT]

Anyone done the clean set up of actually tapping into the existing wiring or harness to run turn signals, running lights, and brake lights?
Running these off the tow vehicles lighting circuits. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I am sure it can be done, just want to know if anyone has gone here before.
If so how did you do it, what does your wiring diagram look like?
No I am not interested in aftermarket magnetic tow lights.

Thanks

Demick,
That is pretty much what I was thinking. I have been trying to figure out the separate brake turns vs. the combined coming from the tow vehicle. I was thinking that the running brake lights on the 914 have a two filament bulb. If I can tap into that circuit I could use the brake light, running light also as the turn signal....I will have to look at it more closely and get out my test light and my digital electrical tester.

My tow vehicle is a 2000 Suburban...it has separate turn, running and brake lights just like the 914. Unforturnately the tow package 7 pin connector has the lights for turn and brake on the same circuit, just like older american cars and trucks. It is that way since almost all RVs and boat trailers have the combined turn and brake lights. I need to see if I can tap directly into the circuit of the 'burb, before the wiring harness for the RV plug.
I have seen it done....on someone elses 914 years ago. But he no longer has the car and he didn't do the wiring. They flat towed with an old Chevy S10 Blazer.

Greg Braun....the old white 914 that you and John used to share before you bought the blue car, was wired...did you guys do it or have it done?
