Jeep Tail Light Wiring - Help!!!!! Sign In

Alright guys, I really need your help. I have a 1986 Jeep J-20 and I am having serious trouble with my tail lights. I've tried to rewire them, but I keep having this issue where both turn signals flash at the same time. I am wiring my tail, turn, and brake lights to one bulb. I have spliced the brake and tail lights from the original wire to the tail light assemblies. I obviously can't do that with the turn signals, obviously. The front turn signal lights work correctly. I have it all grounded at the same place on the frame. I've tied a trailer pig tail to the current wiring. There are two filaments with the bulbs, which one's should I be pairing together? The tail and turn or brakes and turn or the tail and brakes? Could there be some type of feedback coming back from bulbs? What can I do to prevent that? Should I ground the bulbs separately?

I can't figure out what kind of bird's nest of wiring you've done about now. Trailer wired in as well? If plain "flat four" wire you still splice into existing correct wiring or follow exact instruction for another type.


Hard to help just know one wrong bulb or socket can mess both side up and sometimes to front too,
