Subject:HELP - Trailer Wiring Problems
From:David Marshall
Date:Mon, 15 Jun 1998 22:46:23 -0700

Now that I have a trailer hitch, I decided I should actually wire in a
trailer plug in case I actually want to HAUL a trailer...  Who was the
idiot who designed trailer wiring to have the brake light be the same light
as the turn signal!?  Is there any simple relay and diode schematic that I
can use or do I have to buy the expensive $50 kit to make the trailer light
setup compatable with my seperate brake and signal markers?
