1991 ford e150 tail lights are not getting power?

check the fuse, if it is not blown, your tail lights may be missing ground, locate the ground wire on your tail light socket, then get a wire and a metal thumb tack, push the thumb tack thru the ground wire and splice the extra wire and wrap the bare wire around the thumb tack, turn your tail lights on and touch the bare metal of your van and see if it lights up, if it does lights up, just splice it and reconnect to the new ground source, hope this help you out :-)

2005 jeep liberty blowing fuses for brakes and blinkers after you had trailer wiring put on a little black box is getting hot and the white ground wire is melted?

Whoever put the trailer wiring on either cross wired something or a wire got pinched somewhere. Unplug the trailer and try it. If it still blows, it in on the jeep, probably where the wire is spliced in. If it only does it when the trailer is plugged in , you can disconnect each wire one at a time till you find the one that is shorting out. It is just a process of ellimination. The person that did it should be the one to fix it if that is possible.

Why does your trailer lights go out when you hit the brakes on your f 150?

You have a grounding problem at the trailer. The white wire is the ground on trailer wiring. The taillights are brown, the signals and stops are yellow and green. Sometimes the white wire will loose its continuity with the truck, causing the lights to black out. It could also be a wiring issue with the trailer itself, but most likely its the ground giving you feedback and causing the blackout. run a wire from the ground contact on your plug back to a spot on the tongue and secure the end of the wire to the trailer at that point. Do not rely on the contact of the trailer with the ball hitch to establish a ground.

How do you wire a towbar to a 2001 vw beetle?

The tow bar comes with a color coded wiring harness. The tail lights, blinkers, and brake lights are hooked up to a terminal near the trailer hitch of the towing vehicle and then the tow lights are plugged into the socket for the car lights. There are four wires. The brown is the brake lights, the green and black are blinker lights, and the white wire is the ground wire.


How do you install trailer light harness on a Toyota rav 4?

Most commonly, trailer harnesses have four wires. The white wire goes to ground; the brown wire is for tail lights and sidemarkers; the yellow and green wires are for the left and right blinkers and stop lights (not sure which color goes to which side, but you can experiment before you splice the wires).


How to fix boat trailer lights Both blink while left turn signal is on Tail lights work ok when head lights are on and when right turn signal is on?

Check ground circuit Check bulbs they are duble filamented one may be burned out Seems to me there is a wire crossed at the harness. I think the vehicle left turn signal wire is hooked up to the trailer tail lights wire. Usually there are four wires at the trailer harness, yellow, green, white, and brown, The brown wire is usually the tail lights and side marker lights, the white wire is ground, the yellow and green go to the left and right signal lights.

How do you ground truck hitch brown wire?

DO NOT GROUND THE BROWN WIRE. It runs your running lights. Ground it and you will blow the fuse - and the lights will stay dark. Ground the white wire. Just put a ring connector on it and put it under a sheetmetal screw on the body of the tow vehicle. Yellow and Green are combination brake and turn signal circuits. I think green is left and yellow is right, but I'm not sure. Blue runs trailer brakes. Red charges the trailer battery. This all assumes that you are using the sort of industry standard colors. I've seen all kinds of screwed up trailer wiring - including all one color. Good luck.
