Hi
Ok, I admit this is nothing to do with a caravan....but the concept is the same.
I just changed the lights on my little box trailer for LED units. The problem is simple, it all works until I connect the brake wire (red). The lights seem to be designed to use the same LED's for running and brakes. The only instructions say:
Connection instructions:
Black: Negative
Green: License plate light
Blue:Running Light (Red)
Red: Brake Light (Brighter Red)
Yellow: Turn Signal Light (Amber)
Blue&Red Connect together
Now, as I want license plate light to be on with the running lights, I actually connected Green and Blue together on each side and connected them to the two tail light wires from the incoming cable. The incoming cable is wired using standard colours, so Brown and Black are the tail lights and Red is the brake lights.
In particular I can't fathom how the instruction "Blue and Red Connect together" works in practise - as I can't work out what I would connect them to on the car side. Every option seems flawed.
I'm feeling light I must be missing something obvious,and it's not making sense!
Here is a link to the lights in question: ebay item
Right now I have turn signals, running lights, but no brake lights. If I connect red to the brake light feeds the running lights and number plate lights go out.
Thanks for any pointers!
