From what I saw in your diode wiring print, that's what I thought it would do.

sperry said:His method apparently allows all four to turn & brake, but uses diodes to isolate function.
I don't know if in his circuit, the lamps themselves stop flashing during braking or not.
Ginman said:Thanks to JHC for the idea on this one.
I saw this done on Hangman's truck at his house, and liked it.
My boat trailer does have 4 brake turn lights, one on the trailer frame and one set on the guide poles up high, so the load would be too close for me to be comfortable.sperry said:The relay idea is a good call, but the salt water must be the fuseblower?
sperry said:OK,
I modded mine with the trailer source - raw. The relay idea is a good call, but the salt water must be the fuseblower? The load is ok unless you have more than three turn/brake lights each side of your trailer. (Unless they're LED's w/o load resistors accross them). The top brake lights would still operate but you may lose turn if the (trailer) fuse(s) popped.
I rarely tow a trailer myself..
Each lamp is normally 1A for tail ?Amp for marker and 3Amps for Brake/Turn (Your mileage may vary.. )

Hey - Sperry or anyone else who knows what I should do,
I did the traditional 4-way brake mod with the diodes to trailer harness and I'm having trouble with my trailer lights when hooked up. There is a serious delay, if my turn signals even blink, when I brake and use my turn signals. You had mentioned LED lights w/o load resistors; where you talking about the trailer's lights or the AVs brake/turn lights? If you were talking about the trailer, would it go back to normal if my trailer had the LEDs brake/turn lights?,
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Troy
