My shop installed a Dobinsons rear bumper and is having wiring issues tapping into the rear tail, brake, turn-signals. From I understand there are not three separate circuits but two are combined so a simple tap is not the solution.

I'm sure the wring is the same with an ARB bumper. Anyone have any words of advise?

Thank
 
What I did was get a trailer breakout box and run the stock 7 pin into that. You can then tap all the bumper lights, and pass on to the trailer socket. Added bonus is whenever you need to add an accessory the signal is available at the break out box
 
Ya kinda the same. I pulled the trailer harness off, carefully peeled it open and tapped into the circuits I needed there. Lots of heat shrink and black tape to put it back together.
