Trailer Lighting

[Kurt Horvath]

Scott,

This is one of BB notorious screw ups. For several years the
blueprints showed an incorrect sequence in wirering the trailer plug.
Basically it is wired backwards. Called my BB Guru and he told me
that happened on and off for several years. The first time I plugged
in my car trailer the brakes lock with the headlights on the running
lights activated with the brakes and the tail lights were hooked up
as the running lights. I had to remove the plug and rewire all the
connections the were the mirror image to their correct position. Just
follow the standard wirering pattern and you should be OK.
