Subject:      Vanagon trailer wiring help needed
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Hi List,

I purchased a "hitch haul" wheel-less trailer for my Syncro trip to Alaska.
Since the Van's low tail lights would be covered by my gear I decided to
mount trailer lights to the thing.

I spliced into the wires for the left and right turn signals & brake lights
with no problem, they worked to operate the "trailer" lights just fine.

The problem came when I spliced into the running light wire (I used the right
side) when I hooked up the trailer lights and turned on the lights at the
dash, the fuse blew for the right side marker (running) lights.

Is there anyone who can offer some advice on what I can do to make the
running lights work?  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank You,
Loretta
