Why does your stop fuse blow when you tow trailers?
Because lighting up the brake lights of both the car and the trailer pulls too much power. If the problem is a specific trailer then your trailer may be mis-wired. You may also have a mis-wired trailer wire adapter.
Why does the right turn signal at the trailer plugin come on when i operate the left turn signal?
#1 reason is always bad GROUND. Now you really weren't all that specific about which plug. Trailer plug on the vehicle or actually on the trailer? If it's the plug on the vehicle, I would strongly suspect bad ground or installation was backwards. If on the trailer, merely backwards installation. In any case, get better trailer light performance by running separate ground wires to each individual light socket on the trailer and connect them to the ground wire at the plug so they will be grounded to the vehicle at time of connection. I do this with all of my trailer lighting and never have issues.
Why are your taillights not working?
most times its just the bulb or socket or open wire are both tail lights not lighting? fuse, bad bulbs, socket/s, loose ground or open in wires, headlight switch or brake pedal switch
What wire is hot on the cord going to the lamp socket?
The hot wire's cover is smooth and connected to what I call the "button" at the bottom of the socket. The neutral wire's cover has ridges and is connected to the screw shell of the socket.
When you hook up the cables to your battery on your trailer you get sparks why?
I'm guessing you're talking about the plug for the lights not a battery on a travel trailer. You have a short in the wiring somewhere. Check the trailer harness for a pinched wire of even a bad socket. You will probably blow the fuse in the vehicle if you plug it in and leave it. Use a battery to isolate the problem while testing.
Where is the position of black wire in electric socket?
In a household circuit, with a "hot" conductor insulated black and a white neutral, the black wire should connect to the center terminal of the socket. The outside part of the socket usually has a brass screw (for the black wire) and a nickel screw (for the white wire).
What is wire color for 2002 F250 Super Duty backup lights and where is best point to tap into it?
The easiest way to answer this would be to remove a taillight and look at the wires on the back of the "backup" light bulb socket. This is also a good place to tap into the wire, provided that you are able to route the new wire so as not to rub on any sharp surfaces. For example, if you are trying to tie the backup light circuit into an aftermarket stereo fitted with a reverse camera, you will need to be able to route the wire all the way to the cab of the vehicle without leaving it exposed to damage from rubbing, weather, and other possibilities. If you are trying to tie the circuit into a trailer lighting system, the same rules apply but with a lot less wire (as the wire only needs to go a few feet to the trailer hitch). Same applies for a backup alarm.Hope that helps.JB
Where do you connect a 4 wire flat trailer lighting to your 1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS wiring?
You have to remove the rear tail light assembly on each side and tap into the wires there.You'll need a conversion kit to go from the three wire tail lights to the 2 wire (per side).They are available at hitch stores.
What is the schematic for a 7 wire semi trailer?
Top pin is ABS. Next two pins are marker lights. Next two pins down are flashers. Bottom pin is brake lighting. Center pin is ground.
What excatly is pendant lighting?
Pendant lighting is a choice of lighting in which the lighting actually suspends from the ceiling on a wire like fixture and then is usually concealed into a pendant covering.
Your blinker lights and back up lights are not working on your 96 Chevy tohoe they worked fine until we hooked a trailer to tow and after they don't?
Chances are very good that you have a bad ground wire on your trailer or on the connector. Check the connector for rust or rot, clean the pins and use some grease to prevent future problems. If the problem isn't at the connector, you may have a bad ground on the trailer which could be anything from an ungrounded light socket to a bad ground wire. Hope this helps
What is the component located in the drivers side rear fenderwell It has an electrical plug coming out?
It is an adapter for a towing kit lighting system. If you add a trailer hitch to your van it will usually come with a plug that fits into that plug and will allow for your signals and lighting to work. However, with mine, it would not override the third brake light even though it is supposed to do that. I just tossed it out and directly wired to my current wiring and it works fine. I even added a wire to the back up light so I could add back up lighting to my trailer.
