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?
