New TL converter No stop Lights and RT turn?

[skongolf]

I just put in a new Tail light converter in my SUV tonight, 3 to 2 and when I plugged in the trailerlights, everything worked except I had no stop lights and no RT turn signal. Running lights work except for one marker light. I have power through the converter and everything works correctly to the plug on the SUV side. Just curious where the issue could be. Dont the rear lights just have one bulb for the 3 functions? If not could it be an issue with wiring at the light? Just curious where to start.

measure the voltage at the output of your convertor and then trace back from there.

What should the voltage be?

Go through your trailer wiring. Sounds like you have loose connections and a bad ground somewhere.

Most trailer lights have one bulb wilth two filaments. The bulb has to be installed a certain way for the contacts to be made correctly for operation.

you should have 12 volts everywhere....you might want to go over your connections at each light and see if you have something wired wrong...
