So, I am wiring up my 73 FJ40 to flat tow behind my 2007 Tundra and am having some issues. I am using the stock 7 pin plug that comes on the back of the tundra and wiring it up to the FJ40. I am using a 6 pin connector on the fj40. I am using the diagram on the 7 pin tundra that shows the running lights (brown), ground (wht), LH stop/turn (Yel), RH stop/turn (Grn). So I took these wires and sent the brown to all the marker lights, tailights and license lights on the 40. I previously looked at the rear lights on my bumper and they have 3 wires, one ground, one for turn and one for running lights. I figured out which was which and then routed the wiring accordingly.
The problem: I tested the setup and when I turn the turn signals on the tundra on, I get BOTH of the rear tailamps blinking?? WTF? Weird thing is that when I test the fj40 on it's own, everything works as it should. So, if the fj40 wiring is fine what is making BOTH lights blink? I retraced my wiring and everything is wired up as it should, made sure green goes to green (etc) through the plugs. I just can't figure out WHY it would make both lights blink when each wire is going to only the appropriate bulb? Am I missing something or need to add something into the wiring?
I hate wiring, any help appreciated, this is taking way too long to get done.
