Hi all. I'm having trouble getting the rear lighting wiring for my 68 fj figured out. When I got it, there were some things wrong w/the rear lights, but, for the most part, they worked fine. I had brake lights, turn sigs, right tail light, reverse light. However, when I turned on my left turn sig, both the left sig and the license plate light would blink. Seems like a crossed wire and should be easy to fix, right? Anyway, after trying a few things out, I managed to get both tail lights working but no turn signals. Started over. Now, for some reason, I'm getting no brake lights.
Currently, I have the wires disconnected from each other and am having trouble deciphering the wiring diagram from the back of the manual. The biggest hurdle is the set of trailer sockets. I don't have trailer sockets, but they're on the diagram and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Wires go into the socket and come out at another point. In one socket, there are six terminals. Five in the other (one is ground).
Does anyone live around the Springfield, VA area that has any experience w/this sort of thing? I was planning to take it to iron pig on Monday but, since I'm assuming I'll have to leave it over night, I won't be able to get it back before the meeting on Wednesday.
Anyway, back outside for more experimenting right now...any help that can be sent my way will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
