Re: Rv wiring stumper????
I have the 7 pin plug on my truck which is wired into my reverse lights, and my pop up did originally have reverse lights, so there should be no problem there. I just love LED lights, so I'm really trying to stick with these lights as compared to the old style incandescent. I needed to replace the lights because they were missing covers and one was broke in half.537Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rv wiring stumper????
ok so after some research with the help of your replies I do see that a couple companies make tail light converters. These though are set up for when your tow vehicle has the 5 wire LED taillight configuration and your trailer has a 4 wire incandescent tail light setup, my question is, will these converters work in reverse? to supply incoming power with a four wire system to LED trailer tail lights that have a 5 wire setup. Anybody have any experience with this?539Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rv wiring stumper????
Thanks RECYCLER, these are actually listed as semi lights, but says can be used as trailers also, I am new at this type of wiring, I did not realize that semi trailer lights are wired this way, looks like I need to find that converter you and others were talking about537Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rv wiring stumper????
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=321142749412 Here is a link to the lights I bought, the wiring color combo is also confirmed in the listing, since these are cheap Chinese lights they don't follow standard US color coding. These have a 5 wire setup. Basically I am trying to convert the old wire setup to these, maybe by looking at these lights you can get a more detailed look at what I'm trying to do537Views0likes0CommentsRv wiring stumper????
I am trying to figure out my wiring for my tail lights on my 1984 starcraft starmaster pop up. I have four wires coming out to the old taillights on the driver side. These are white which I know is ground, green which I know is for running lights, yellow which is reverse lights and red, which is turn/ stop light. I purchased LED taillights that have a five wire hook up. I hooked these up to a 12v battery and determined what the wires on the tail light control. Black is ground, white is reverse, green is running lights, yellow is turn signal and red would be brake. The issue is that the LED light has the turn signal and brake signal circuits separated, where the original setup was on the same wire, using a dual element bulb. When using a test light on the red wire from the camper, it will blink as it should when blinkers are on but give more power for brake light when brakes are applied. If I hook up this red wire to the LED light fixture on the blinker circuit the light will blink as it should but will light up like a brake light when brake is applied. This is just an amber turn indicator, I want it to just blink. I can take it lighting up when brake is applied because it does blink when brakes are pressed and turn signal on, but I don't get the red lens to light up for brakes like it should. Can I tie into the electric brake circuit to get my brake light in the rear? Please help, I will try to post a crude drawing of what I am talking about.,thanks3.8KViews0likes15Comments
