trailer tail lights out
Hello,
I'm driving a 91 f150 4x4
I have the regular four wire flat plug. Both turn signals work and the brake light works but the tail lights are out. I tested the wires and the brown one is dead. There are also green, yellow and white wires. I talked to some friends and they say it would be easier running a new brown wire back to the plug, rather than trying to trace the bad wire. If so, where would I run the new wire from? Or is this crap and should I try and find the problem? Thanks for any tips.
Jay

Now you wouldn't have to run a new wire that far all you would have to do is attach it to the licensce plate lights and that would work. However you might want to check the fuses make sure all are good. The brown is taillight, the white is ground the yellow and green are the turn signals. Can't recall off the top of my head as to which is which.

There's an adapter that I use that simply inserts inline in the connector on the truck so you don't have to cut and splice. It's a real simple and slick setup.
