Wiring Lights to New Silverado?

July 17, 2011, 08:29:06 pm

The previous toad had separate brake and turn signals, same as Mh, the Silverado has a double element bulb with both the TS and Brake, The MH has a Control Box in the Engine Compartment that has a pin that can be moved from single bulb to the double element bulb..so I guess that will save any feed back thro the MH? But I will have to wire the Brake lights to work from the MH because the Truck brake lights do not work with the switch off. I use the Brakemaster for brakes and before it worked the brake lights, now they have no power with the Ign switch off..
Has anybody had experience in this situation? I'm just not sure if I need to use Diodes to protect the Truck from feed back? Am I heading in the right direction...Any advice greatly appreciated...

Marvin: I found the best all-around solution was to run a spare wire/bulb to the tailights and that connects via the plug to the MH. Then all the power for the lights/brake lights/turn signals runs off the power from the plug in the motorhome; doesn't deplete the toad battery in any way. Best of luck, Roger 2006 Intrigue
