what's up??

[Silver Bullet]

I have a small problem with my trailer wireing. my lights all work -the turn and brake lights all work, but when I have the turn signal on, the brake lite over rides the turn signal on the trailer.I am just wondering what's up with that???? :confused24::confused24:

Grounds okay? not rusted

[BuddyRich]

Did you use a modulite adapter ?

[Silver Bullet]

yes I cheaked the ground and it good...yes I did use the modulite. every thing works great ..the turn signal on the trailor works great untile I apply the break to turn .the turn on the bike works as it
should but the turn on the trailor reverts to brake light..????:confused24:

Bad modulite? Its rare but known to happen. Stupid question here....can the 1157 bulbs be put in wrong?

Check the earth again. I don't know what a modulite is, but do you have a separate earth through the tow plug, or does it earth via the chassis and tow ball ?

I've never worked with a modulite, but it sure sounds wired wrong to me.

Sounds like the brakes are wired to the turn signals and vice versa.

I used a modulite but made for a trailer with LED lights,IT SAID,I havnt a clue if that made a difference or not, but mine is working perfect and all I did was wire it per instructions that Freebird has posted in the Tech section.

Make sure you didn't cross up the wires going to the lights, both sides need to be wired to the same color. You may have got one side wrong.

well it's rainning to day [which we need very bad] here in the panhandel. so I will wait till it stops ,so I can turn it upside down and hook it to the bike and check all the wireing.I followed freebirds inst, but I guess I did somthing wrong... I did check the ground again. having said that, I did change the lights to led's. thanks for every ones help ,mabye i'll find it when the rain stops.

Don't discount the fact that the Modulite could be bad. They do seem to have a quality control issue. I know of several who have gotten bad ones and I think that Cougar went through 2 or 3 of them before he finally got a good one.
