cannante Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I was having problems with the tail lights, but both brake lights and signals worked in the back. Now the right brake light and signal don't work at all So I'm only on the road due to the good graces of people in the town that are being helpful with getting me places to go and stay what have you. Someone spent 3 hours on it trying to find the problem and said it's definitely not going to ground it's new LED lights instead of finding where it doesn't go to ground I'm thinking of just rewiring the whole thing since inside it's gutted with no electricity and I'm perfectly happy creating a new system there at a later date I just want the tail lights to work now How do I connect new wires from the turn signal and the brake and the tail lights to a set of trailer lights that I want to fix on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannante Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I am going to try just bypassing all the old wiring and putting in trailer lights. Does anyone have a diagram for a 1982 sunrader? I'm pretty sure it's relatively simple and you just connect to the wires that come out of the turn signal, which includes the tail lights and the turn/brake signal I'm literally trapped in a Publix parking lot in Florida so any amount of speed would be appreciated!

MaineJed Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Can’t help you with a diagram but your right in just tying into the tail lights, quite easy even in a parking lot. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck I want to replace the tail lights wiring entirely though so I would start at the steering column and the turn indicator, right?

MaineJed Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If you want to replace it entirely yes, You had said you wanted to just wire in trailer lights.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannante Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 I am replacing the LED replacement lights with trailer lights because the LEDs aren't getting because the LEDs aren't getting to ground Sorry that wasn't clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I think you might be in the market for a tail light converter to go from the Toyota 3 bulb system to a trailer light 2 bulb system. Looks like this ...https://www.zoro.com/buyers-products-hd-tail-light-converter-6-amp-5423203/i/G9111459/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Maybe I'm missing something but is there a reason he can't just put in another ground that works? Lots of frame nearby to ground stuff too. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
