Topic: Brake light wiring issues 91 pickup

[Tsage]

After breaking out my taillights several times over the last few wheeling trips, I decided to flush in some oval tail lights into my tail gate.  I tore into the harness not thinking it would be much of a hassle.  I am used to jeeps which have 3 wires (tail, break/turn, and a ground)  The toyota has 7 wires.

Using a test light I thought i figured it all out.  I found the tail light and turn wires easily, i figured the turn signal would also function as the brake light aswell.  No such luck, I can not get any power back to the wiring when the brakes are applied.

Here are the wires I have figured out (I think)
Ground- White w/ Black Stripe & groups of 2 red bands
Tail- Green w/ groups of 2 red bands
Turn/Hazard- Green w/ Black stripe & single red bands


here are the unknown wires
1. White w/ Black stripe & single red bands
2. Green w/ White stripe & groups of 2 red bands
3. Green w/ groups of 2 red bands
4. Red w/ Black stripe

Has anyone else run into this when using these types of lights with flatbeds etc?  Any input would be great.

here are the unknown wires

1. White w/ Black stripe & single red bands ----Ground

2. Green w/ White stripe & groups of 2 red bands----Brake Lights

3. Green w/ groups of 2 red bands----Licence plate


4. Red w/ Black stripe----Back Up lights

This is according to my FSM for my 90 PU

Turn signals are separate from the brake/tail light.

Thanks.

any ideas why i am not getting any current to any of the wires when the brakes are depressed?

if your not getting power to the brake lights when the brake is applied then you have a blown fuse (could of shorted when cutting wires) or a short somewhere
