Tail Light - Wiring
I have a '97 WG and am installing some LED lights. I was looking into connecting the LEDs with the brake light - brake light comes on, so do the LEDs (more visibility).
The Service Manual (SM) on page 8-36, figure 8-45, shows the wires for the tail lamp. It shows the color of four wires and what cavity they are located in:
* Black = 5
* Red/Yellow = 6
* Blue = 7
* Orange/White = 2
And of course my multimeter does not work (tab broke for battery) and not wiring schematic.
My guess is the tail light on wire is either the Red/Yellow or the Orange/White. Almost thinking it is the Orange/White.

Found a 2nd voltmeter I forgot my friend gave me. Tested brake light > Zero volts when on and 12v when brakes applied = Red/Yellow.

Interesting...I will have to check that. Thanks! The manufacturer's video only showed the brake light being applied. Nothing with the turn signals.
