tail light connections

[jamcleod]

would someone post the wire color-terminal connections for the rear tail lights. i can't follow the haynes or the pelican color diagrams, or at least the info is incomplete.

i have these 5 terminal identifications on the taillight housing:

31 R RF 54 58

i have these 5 wire colors:

brown black/brown grey/brown grey/red black/yellow

for the right rear tail light, i can tell from the PP color schematic that bk/yw -> 54 gy/rd -> 58 but i can't find the others.
i did record the connections before i removed the wires but i don't know if my lights don't work because of the corrosion (now cleaned) or if they were misconnected. many TIA.

Your in luck. I just did this a few days ago.

Left side:

RF- gray/brown
31- brown
58- white/black
54- black/yellow (two wires)
L - black/white


Right side:

R- black/green
31- brown
58- white/red
54- black/yellow
RF- grey/brown

Note: first color is main insulation color, color after / is stripe. Look closely at the white/red and grey/brown as they can look identical without good lighting.

many thanks...WE HAVE STOP LIGHTS!!!! who would have thought you'd have to adjust the brake light switch! the things they (haynes...lash) don't tell you.

like: to remove the reset button on the shaft of the cable to reset the trip odo...... there is a set screw tiny-tiny-tiny set screw..


thanks again (now if i could just fix the horn...)
