Also my problem is I do tow other trailers with standard lighting, I was really trying to fix this issue on my pop up, not my TV this way I wouldn't have to worry about it messing up the lights on my other trailers
well you can't because most other trailers will NOT have amber turn signals.
you could just use a 1 pole solo connector from the TV to the trailer for the brakes. PITA IMO.
Just re read and saw that you asked to tap into the electric brakes, This wouldn't work because the (blue) brake wire from your TV would be sending a variable signal depending on brake application. Meaning your brake lights on your trailer would glow from dim to bright depending on braking. Not legal I am sure. And I believe with some brake controllers if on level and light braking it will not send any signal because the brakes are not needed( I could be wrong) If this was the case,your red brake lights would not illuminate.
Either way if you do not rewire your TV your left and right turn signals will be carrying the brake signal as well, meaning your amber turn signals on your trailer will illuminate with the brakes. Might not be legal either.
you could wire your TV to accommodate the Pop up and make an adapter to plug into your TV to bring the wiring back to standard.
it is just wiring, it isn't confusing.
BTW what connector is on the trailer?
7pole as well or 6? what?
