681.9basic questionFX28PM::FX28PM::SMITHPWritten but not readFri Apr 11 1997 12:2612
    Basic wiring question here.
    
    I want to install a standard 4 wire connector to my van. The connector
    kit says to wire green to right stop/turn signal. However the right
    turn signal and stop light are two diferent lights/wires. Do I just
    jumper the green wire to both the stop light and turn signal. The same
    holds true for the left.
    
    	White	-- Car Ground
    	Green	-- Car right stop/turn signal
    	Yellow	-- Car left stop/turn signal
    	Tan	-- Car tail light (running light)

681.11Diode in the circutFX28PM::TWOTOO::SMITHPWritten but not readMon Apr 14 1997 15:0621
    I think what I am looking for is a diode. EE in the office said to
    splice a diode to the turn wires (R & L) and one to the stop light (R &
    L). These are about 25cents each at Radio Shack vs $12-14 for the
    splicer box.

    There is more to the splicer box than just a couple of diodes.  The
    circuit that you have drawn will not give you a turn signal when the
    brakes are applied.  Any time you apply the brakes, the lights will
    stay on solid, regardless of the turn signal input.  It is worth it to
    buy the box.  $12 is cheap to get the correct circuit all pre-wired and
    sealed in a weather tight box.

    Well I purchased a Hoppy plug connector kit ($35) and returned the
    standard 4 wire kit. The Hoppy had everything I needed and was a simple
    unplug connect at tail lights and plugin the Hoppy connectors. The
    thought of spending $8 for a 4 wire connector kit and another $14 for
    the spliter box, then having humteen slice connectors everywhere just was
    not worth the $13 cost savings over the Hoppy plug & play kit for me.
    
    Thanks
