@nathandeo4977 I still have not installed the harness for trailer lights on my new vehicle. Installing the hitch was was relatively easy, but the harness will be quite involved. I wish I could just tap into the power in the outlet in the back of the vehicle.

One of the best trucks ever made!

Thanks for watching!

I think I got it off Amazon, there are a few styles to choose depending on what you need

Sorry to hear that-

Bingo! I'm so glad this video helped!

Glad it helped! I try to make things as easy as possible around here.

Agree. Always disconnect the negative on the battery when working on electrical components. That being said the scotch connectors he used to "splice" aren't the traditional method and when paired with the led identification tool that came with his kit it's a safe and fool proof installation. Quality and how long it will last is another question. I'm just going to buy the OEM plugs and wire them in myself. Trailer plugs are abused and need to be rough, I'm sure by now he is no longer using zip ties to hold the connector 😂

Thanks for the kind words. In this case, keeping the battery plugged in is to help the tech determine what wire does what with the test light.

And how do I know what works for my car

They way that I figure it out is to go to Amazon for wiring harness, then filter by your vehicle. Not 100 perfect, but pretty accurate

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs what if it doesn’t have any trailer attachments like wiring and that stuff I looked it up on Amazon and I found something but it’s just a 7way trailer plug with junction box idk if that’s everything I need to get it working or not

Can you point out the time in the video please?

Let me clarify. For anyone not born with a cell phone in their hand, this is a fast and easy task.

11min video wired in both lights. Not bad.

You can do either as long as you remember to wire up the turn signals to the right lights!

I hope you find one! They really are great Trucks. Mine is a gas 1.8L with a highway geared 5 speed and 30+ MPG is not a problem. I owned a 1.6L NA 4 speed Diesel one for a few years and it was slow, but man that thing was a fuel saver. May I suggest you get one sooner rather than later? They are getting harder to find everyday.

@Farpoint Farms Restorations and Repairs yes any of them in PA are generally rusted out. The place I worked at, several mechanics had the VW diesels and they taught me how to tweak them to milk the mpgs out of them. I miss the simplicity of them. I had a VW bug in the mid 80's and it was one of the simplest cars I ever worked on. That being said, I have learned quite a bit from your videos on the bug and the bus.

@@roberthoffman4713 hope you are well, Bob's Body Shop in Glendive MT had 2, in running condition, 10 years ago. Owner may have passed.

You have parking lights (the red ones that stay on all the time) and Brake lights (The bright ones that come on when you brake only).

​@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairsYou mean running lights.

​@Bptrsn1 there is by technicality two different lights, parking and running lights. I bought some morimoto replacements and they said one of them is only on during parking and will remain on for about 15 seconds when you turn off the car at a dimmer setting than the running lights.

If it has a brake light that is separate from the turn signal, then yes,

Glad it helped! You made my day!!

Thanks! It's very old now (1980), but then again I'm old too. The other channel is "Farpoint Farms". Take care!

That is what the converter box is for. It converts the far more common 5 bulb setup on modern cars to the 4 pin setup of nearly all small trailers.

On that truck, it will be easy!

Yes, that would work just fine.

Thanks.....I think.

I appreciate that! As a long time fan, I hope you can tell that I've been working hard these past 6 months to take it all to the next level.

​@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairsGreat stuff, I've got the '18 Chrysler Pacifica hopefully it's done basically the same way. Most of these videos have you running a long wire all the way to the front battery😢

No, that should not be an issue.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs thank you!

I guess I am lucky as I have not had any issues using them.

Yes, and yes.

No, and no.. There's only one green wire going to the right-hand side for the blinker (no set). The rest of the wires are on the left-hand side, and the yellow wire is for the left blinker. Perhaps she did not understand your question?

So there are trailer light kits for cars that have combo brake and taillights, and ones for cars like this that have a separate light for each. Make sure you have the right kit!

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs I ran a separate light for the tail light

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Actually there are not cars with combo brake and taillights. There are old cars that have combo turn and brake lights, meaning they use the same filament for both functions. There are cars that have the brake light and tail light in the same bulb but on different filaments. This cars still qualify as having separate brake and taillight functions.

Glad it helped

Yup!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you very much!

CURT 56146 Powered 3-to-2-Wire Splice-in Trailer Tail Light Converter, 4-Pin Wiring Harness. I bought mine a few years back on eBay.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs thank you very much! This is gonna help me save a ton of money!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad I could help!

You’re welcome

You'd be surprised!

I always fail to realize that 1/2 my viewers are watching on a tiny cell phone screen. Sorry! We have a Roku and I watch 99.9% of my RU-vid on the TV so i forget.

He did, watch again.

I've been playing around with a new intro. Glad you like it! Not sure if it's permanent, but l like it too!

Ah yes, the g-60 swap. Maybe someday.

It's a generic 4 pin kit. Literally every parts store and every Walmart carry it.

Try using a computer or TV. My videos are not intended for The cell phone viewer. They are too in depth for that kind of viewing.

Did your brake light wire and parking wire twist together and joined together with what wire

What??
