towed lights hookup? - ernesttumbleston - 12-05-2005 04:00 Here is a brain teaser! I have an 80FC with dual filiment 1157 bulbs on the bottom and single 1156 bulbs on the top. The following is true at the rear of the bus! 1. Running lights on bottom lights only as expected. 2. Brake lights work on all both top and bottom right side but only bottom on the left. This also goes for the emergency flashers 3. Turn signals work top right or top left when selected as expected. Why does the brake light not work on the top left side? This also causes the left brake light on the car not to work. Note: this was true before the car was hooked up. Any help would be appreciated....And....It's good to be back...Todd Tumbleston, 80FC33, Now in Eutawville South Carolina at Rocks Pond Campground on Lake Marion......... towed lights hookup? - Jeff Miller - 12-05-2005 09:34 The lower brake/flasher light on either side is a separate wire, running from the twin larger relays in the front overhead mounted high on the right side of the relay/breaker panel. If the relays both energize with the 4-way flashers, it is either the flasher unit or wiring to the rear, you'll have to chase the connections from there. Try running 12v to the N.O. contact of the left relay to see if the bulb gets power (I assume you've already checked the bulb, socket, and socket ground). - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "ernesttumbleston" wrote: > > Here is a brain teaser!

I figured it must be something in the overhead with the relays. I only found one flasher and replaced it anyway. I have wiring diagrams but they are not detailed enough to figure this one out.........
