Hey all,
I flat tow my '73 FJ40 and use magnetic trailer lights, but would like a cleaner setup.
I know about running the trailer wires from the towing vehicle (truck in front), and tapping into the wires at the FJ40s taillights (towed vehicle). And adding diodes to make it all work. But, I hear you loose turn signals when hitting the brakes.
Is there a location in the 40's wiring, maybe up under the dash, that I could tap in with the trailer power from the towing vehicle, to make my lights on the 40 work correctly?
I know Coolerman does a lot of work with wiring harness, I wonder he or anyone else has figured this out.
...worth a shot!
Thanks, B.
