yet another wiring problem...

[MonkeyBoy]

I have a 1994 voyager with four wires coming out. White,Brown,Green and yellow. My trailer has two sets of two wires. green-gr/brwn and yellow-yellow/brwn for a total of 4 wires coming from the trailer. My assumption is to ground the white wire. connect the green to green and yellow to yellow. Then, take both the gr/brwn and yellow/brwn and connect them to the brown coming out of the van. I have tail/signal lights and yellow side markers. Do all of the bulbs have to be good (side markers included) for any of the other lights to work?<br />any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

Thanks Bob. Here is what I get. I know the wiring in the trailer is good,for when I hook a battery straight up to the yellow-yellow/brwn wires, the lights come on. How many volts should I be getting from the wiring coming out of my van when the tail lights are on? 12V??

lucky,<br /><br />Yes you will have 12V.<br /><br />The bulbs in your tail lights need to be dual element. I believe they should be 1157's.

Thanks Bob and Djohns. I found my problem. When I unwrapped the wiring harness on my van, the wires crumbled in my hands. gee, ya think I need a little rewiring here?? I jumped the wires from where I thought they were good and...SHAZAAM!! They worked!! Thanks All!!!!
