Now the only problem i am having is that when i hit the brakes or blinkers all the other lights will dim, and when the blink is on they flicker with the blinker. Could this just be a bad ground?Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!Well i figured i got running lights, all i need to do is rewire blinkers and brakes in the back. So i will just take the back siding off to do this and save em the trouble. This should work in theory shouldn't it?Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!So if i test continuity and there is no short. than i will get no ohms right. 0.00 reading? Update::::: So i tested continuity from the ground and the wires here is what i get. the brown and green wires read 06.0 and the yellow doesn't read anything.Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!Well I hooked it all up to the truck and this is what I got.. right turn signal turns all the lights on. Brakes turn all the lights on.. left signal does nothing, running lights are off and never turn on. I will double check the wiring in the truck but. Does this mean all the wires are touching some were or there is a short?Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!I have been testing it with my little 12v battery charger. I actually found the ground on the tounge of the trailer and I got all the lights to light up, after replacing all the teardrops that is. Now I need to get new bulbs in the taillights and hook it up to the truck and see what happens. Only wire don't get any lights on is the yellow wire.Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!MispostRe: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!thats probably whats going on with mine. cause i cant figure out what its grounded too. there is no apparent ground to the trailer, and the only other white wire i have goes to the brakes.Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!! westend wrote: Do you have a meter? yes i have a meter and have been testing it.Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!See that's what i was thinking is that it makes ground though the ball hitch too. So i wired a plug on it. and put my battery charger to it and i just cant get the lights to shine! lol. We were going to get a magnetic set of lights as a temporary solution also so we could use it. But now my wife is telling me to pull the siding and just rewire it.Re: Old 60's TT tow lights Wiring Question, HELP!!!Yes i was going to do without the brakes. its a smaller trailer. And i am trying to wire up a 4 flat plug. Ill check out the site . thanks.
