Electrical Help

[mbisett]

I am struggling again on the electrical front.. I am really challenged on electrical issues and I have recently spent days trying to figure out why some electrical connections don’t work as stated in the Roadster complete kit and associated wiring harness diagram and schematics. Any and all help/guidance would be appreciated.

Regarding the emergency flashers - when I leave the blue and green wires tied together as shown in the wiring harness diagram and text - the turn signals all blink together. I separated the blue and green wires and the turn signals worked as they should but the emergency flashers don’t. I have worked and worked in trying to get the turn signals and the emergency flashers to work separately and individually but not there yet. I really would appreciate some help getting the turn signals and emergency flashers working correctly.

Brake switch wiring. After over 6 hours I finally found that the wiring harness connector to the switch was bad! I also found that the white labels for the clutch switch and the brake switch was incorrectly marked. (Found this to true on the left and right rear light harness also). Pretty frustrated with the entire wiring harness!

Can you share a picture of how you wired the hazard switch? It's critical that you only use the connectors on one end of the switch for the left and right wires. It doesn't matter which end. The power leads go to the center set of pins.

Are your tail lights the new rectangular LEDs? If so, have you wired the trailer adapter that should have been in the kit?

I will get a pic today and post it. I believe I have it wired as you describe.

I do have the rectangular LED tail lights and I did receive the trailer adapter but did not know what it was for. Where does the trailer adapter go?

The converter (trailer adapter) combines the brake and turn signals on each side of the car when a single bulb is used instead of separate bulbs. See the image below from a similar adapter:
