Trailer Harness Wiring Problems

[coolhuh]

I have 7 wires coming from my vehicle and I am trying to connect to a 4 prong connector.
I have the blinkers hooked up and the tail lights, but where do I connect the brake lights. The wiring diagram shows the stop and blinkers on the same wire, but when I connect the stop lights my blinker stops blinking and just stay on.

Please help.

Thanks,
Jeff

I bet the tow vehicle has seperate bulbs for the rear turn signals.
They make an adapter for that.
Check with your local auto parts store.

The turn signals are separate bulbs.

There is a converter made for just that.The brake lights and turn signals are on a separate circuit.
This topic came up awhile back...i will search the threads for it.
