Check the turn signal switch its self the brake light circuit is a main part of that switch and when you have both! turn light and brake light issues theres a 97% chance it's the turn switch itself

Changed fuses fow tow connector. #3 and # 7. Now the left trailer light,signal, brake,etc works while only right tail light on trailer still works. On right side, the tail works, but not the brake,or...

I would recommend taking out the tail light. Get a test light, have an assantant step on brake. U will see the bulb in tailamp light up. Probe the wire w/your test lamp. That is brake wire. Repeat that process for blinker.. Drop down those two wires. Hook that to the same side on trailor. Repeat for left and you should be all set.

Hey,I have an 03 chevy s10,I recently tried putting a pig tail on it (straight wired) and had no luck,gave up and crimped all the wire back together,and today a guy at work noticed I had no taillights,but...

I would check your tail light fuse first then test the brown wire in the tail light harness where you origionally cut into it. With the lights on there should be around 12v on it. if not you may have pulled the wire too hard and broke it upstream. Test to see if there is 12v at the fuse ad if there is, your trouble should be in the wire between the fuse and the spot where you cut into it.

Wireing a pig tail onto 95' jeep grand cheerokee.

The kits are great, they work, They eliminate the need for running extra wires for the brake and blinker, they don't mix well. Also, you need a real good ground on your trailer or you will get dim lights, or no lights at all.

1989 chevy 1/2 ton.brake lights or emergency flashers dont work.tail lights an blinkers work.

The Blinkers and the Brake Lights are the same bulb. So check the brake light switch. Flashers use a different flasher unit, than the turn signals

Pressing brake causing blinker issue

The trailer harness that was installed probably has a short inside the box that distributes power to the trailer pig-tail. Remove the trailer harness. You problem will be cured.
