Subject:Simple Question about trailer wiring
From:Marshall Ruskin
Date:Sat, 26 Aug 2000 21:34:03 -0500

My Trailer lamp kit has some instructions I would like the list to clarify,
if possible.

The illustration shows: From the vehicle  - the brake and LH turn signal
power are on *one* wire to the LH trailer lamp, and same thing on the RH
side.

To me, I can only interpret that as meaning that I basically have to connect
the high side of each turn signal and the brake light to the wire leading to
each sides trailer lamp.

This "gives me the willies". (How does turn signal work during braking,
exactly?)

Am I correct - is this the correct way to wire up a trailer lampset - or
should I do something else?

TIA
