Brake light on trailer wiring
Just bought my wife a new car and put a hidden hitch on it so she can haul around all my s***. I went to wire the lights and everything went fine except the brake lights. FOUR WIRES: LEFT TURN, RIGHT TURN, TAIL LIGHTS, GROUND. What am I missing? Can I wire the tail light wire to both the tailight and the brake light?

Okay, I have figured it out, thanks to your help. The trailer brake lights work on both of my tucks becuase they have factory installed ports which is prewired to include brakes and tail light into one wire. On the new car, I'm only sending one signat through (in my case, the tail lights.) Can I double up the tailights and brakelights into one wire going to the trailer, or will I short something out?

Okay, I think you guys are thinking this is way more complicated than it is. This is a small trailer that does not have brakes, just brake lights. (No battery.) I am trying to hook up a four wire harness to a car. Blinkers work, tailights work, but the brake lights do not work. Besides the overwhelming advice to stop working on this car (which has been noted,) does anybody have any other ideas?

Murf, you are the man! Yes, I failed to mention that this is a Japanese car, and yes, seperate yellow turn signals. Okay, I am off to tractor supply and then I'm going to fry my wifes car.

I appreciated everybodies input, and if it appeared that I was missing information, maybe I wasnt giving enough. Murfs post seemed to contain the only info I could use right now. I need this thing tommorow morning, so dealerships and internet parts wernt an option. The part about foriegn cars having a seperate turn signal got my unstuck from where I was. TS had the part, and I am all fixed up. Except now my headlights won't turn on. Any ideas?
