Aux Rear Lighting! Help with jap wiring! was created by Statey
So I've got some rear lights on my roof rack and today armed with the tow bar guide someone popped on here in was hopeful.
As the roof wiring doesn't reach I've got some tow bar cable to bride the gap.
So following the grid ... This one
I started with the roof to tow bar wires to roof.
Tow. To. Roof. Function
Green - R Blue - Flasher
Yellow - L Blue - Flasher
Red - Red - Brake
White - Black - Earth
Brown - R Green - Side
Black - L Green - Side
So then I could follow the grid when at the cars wiring.
Started with the brake lights.
I connected
Red to the green/white & dots
White to the black
Tried this out.. Nothing! :dry:
But if I swapped them over
It works! But none of the others will :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
Anyone help plleaasse??
