Hello all,

I am trying to wire my fit for a utility trailer with a T-One kit. I have successfully wired the vehicle, but while diagnosing a problem with the trailer wiring, I think I may have blown the fuse for the rear running lights by shorting the brown lead.

The symptoms are:

No rear running lights when the lights are set to on.
Headlights, brake lights, blinkers, etc. are fine.
No voltage on the brown trailer wire when lights are on.

I checked all the small fuses, and they look fine. Does any one have any idea what fuse this circuit is on? Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Cassidy

 

No one can tell me what fuse handles the taillight circuit?

Some one has got to know! I can't drive at night!

so the little top portion of the lights dont work?, and the bottom doesnt light- unless the brakes are on? and then only the bottom lights right? the top never lights up now?
only one i know off the top of my head is #1 is reverse lights, (not that-that helps)

and please maybe? (just kidding)

 

I know this is an old thread but I think I have the answer. A way back in the 60s I was trying to wire my Austin 1100 for my tent trailer. I had similar problems in that could get all the lights working properly but not all at same time.

It turns out you have 3 lights/circuits on the car - brake, running and signal. On the trailer you have two - running and the other is a combo of brake/signal. So I needed to add a small pair of lights to the trailer to act as signal. Geez I spent a day on it before realizing the problem.
