Joe, here is my set up on my RV. Running lights off, side markers flash with rear brake lights. Running lights on, side marker light flash opposite of rear brake lights. I have a 12 volt feed to my RV relay that does not have a brake light signal. I have a 12 volt feed from the fuse box under the hood with a relay that is triggered by the front turn signal. Two feeds, left and right. I tried one of those boxes and wasn't happy. Multilabel fuses as well.
the USA has such a complicated system in Australia we have Turn Signals that are Amber and stops that are Red Running lights that are 1/2 the wattage of the stop lights all wired seperate ,,,, SIMPLE Rob NSW AU
Agree 100%. Crazy thing is my Land Rover has orange turn signals that are separate from brake light circuit, but on the USA spec trailer wiring harness, turn and brake signals are combined into one circuit in the 7 pin trailer plug. It has been proven that separate indicator (amber) and brake lights improve safety by 25% but yet the US has not adopted this. I suppose it is the same as the metric system...
Alright Joe, well done! It is unclear to me - what happens when you first hit the brakes then engage turn signal ? Any difference if first apply turn signal then step on the brake pedal ? Thanks!
Very good video brother I got a question for you I know this is an old video 2 years ago and I just seen it Joe but is there anyway you could send me a copy of that green trailer electrical wiring or do you know where I can get it at if so would you please let me know I'd really appreciate it thank you sir
And one more, it appears you are using both the Tekonsha 118158 and your custom relay scheme at the same time. Why not just use the Tekonsha 118158 box ?
It’s simple, REWIRE EVERYTHING😊

I have so many questions! Could I possibly pick your brain? I am wiring a trailer very similarly to this, shore power included.
Sure email me joe@joebarron.info
