short circuit on trailer light wiring
how do I install a trailer lights to a Honda 1998
It's a green light that should flash once every time you put your signal light on (either direction). This light tells you that the trailer wiring system that was built into the Disco is working properly. When you tow a trailer and connect the trailer lights to the LR wiring connection next to the hitch, the green "trailer" light on the dash should flash in sync with the signal light arrows every time you put on your signal light. This is telling you that your trailer lights are working properly. If the green "trailer" dash light does not flash, then you might have something wrong with the trailer lights or with the wiring. Unfortunatly Land Rover abandoned this feature on the Disco II.
Does it have trailer light wiring also? check that too.
Trailer Lights Work on Other Vehicles but Not MineIF the lights [tail, turn, and brake] are working on your vehicle, AND the trailer lights will work on some other vehicle, that confirms:That the problem is NOT in your vehicle's wiring system.That the problem is either in the trailer wiring, OR is caused by the IMPROPER connection of the connector plug wires to the wiring of your vehicle.It is critical that the connector plugs [on the vehicle and the trailer] are properly connected to the correct wires.The fact that NONE of the lights work when connected to your truck suggests that the defect is related to the GROUND wireas that is the only wire common to all the different light circuits.
Trailer Lights Not Working ProperlyWithout being able to physically see and troubleshoot the defective trailer light wiring system [from the attachment to the vehicle wiring harness (s) all the way to each of the trailer lamps [light bulbs], one can only speculate.I suspect that the cause for part of the lamp filaments working properly while some don't is the result of connecting some wires to the wrong wires.
How do you install trailer wiring on a 2009 civic
find wiring harness in the back of the vehicle the same one that goes to the tail lights wire it through that wiring harness use test light to make sure you arein the right wiring harness
If there is a trailer wiring harness on the vehicle for towing unplug harness under drivers side rear tail light to eliminate the trailer wiring that's probably the issue then plug factory wires together
By "exterior" lights I am forced to assume that your mean the tail lights, brake lights, license plate lights, and if available, the side marker and clearance lamps. When a trailer light wiring harness is attached to a towing vehicle's electrical system, it is generally tied into the tail/brake/license light wiring harness. If that is the case with your setup, then the same fuses that serve the vehicles light system[s] also serves the towed vehicles lights. Usually, one fuse serves the brake lights, and another serves the tail, license, side marker, and clearance lights.
check the fuse in the underhood fuse box. There are separate fuses for the trailer turn circuits and tail lights. If the fuse is burnt, replace and reconnect the trailer. If the fuse blows again, check the trailer wiring for a short on the park light wire.
