wiring assistance

I could not find the wiring under or even near the back of my Jayco 5th wheel, so I tapped into the tailight wires with a 4-way plug. White went to ground, black to running lights, green to blinker on one side and I ran another wire to the green wire on the left taillight. I had power to the connector, but when I hooked up to my car, nothing worked.In fact when the blinker is on, the running lights also blink. I think its a ground problem, but am unsure where to even start looking. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron
  • I have a KZ, and could not find the taillight wiring either, I did the same as you and tapped into a taillight to add a weather proof 12v accessory outlet.

    I suspect my wiring is inside the walls :(
  • Most that I have dealt with were:
    White to ground
    brown to running lights
    green to one side blinker
    yellow to other side blinker
  • I would start with a test light on the new wired plug, then check the car plug. I also don't think the green is the turn for both the left and right side.
