Posted December 25, 201014 yr Hello all, I need to tap the parking wires on my 98.5 for hooking up my plow lights. on my turn signal / parking lamp the wires colors are. Green with Red trace Blk with Green trace Solid Blk I believe the green with red is one wire I need. Would Blk = ground then I can use th other wire with the blk with green trace. Thanks, John --- Update to the previous post... Got it all figured out. The plug socket is labled. Thanks, John
December 25, 201014 yr Owner This is surprising not to see someone jump in and tackle a wiring project... As for the wiring its here... /downloads.php?do=file&id=161">http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=161 turn to page 12 and the turn signals are there...
December 26, 201014 yr Author Thanks Mike! Once again you are a life saver. I figured it out. Just to let people know the actual light socket is labled. Thanks again Mike. Happy Holiday's,John
December 28, 201014 yr Author I tapped mine at the light as mentioned. Being that the wires come from the headlight harness for the plow, and is right there. If doing a car alarm you can tap the parking light wire at the fuse. By the way we had a big snow storm that started late christmas day and lasted til 2 this morning dumping 12 to 26" so the plow worked great and I made some money. Thanks again.Good Luck,John
December 28, 201014 yr For a while now, I've been wanting to mount a few discreet LED running lights on the pinch welds but I guess I've gotten chicken about tapping wires which are exposed to corrosion. I'd like to tap inside the cap... the fuse panel would be ideal. I used to have a fuse tap which accepted a spade terminal from my days working for the Electronics company. (Pull fuse, stick tap in, reinsert fuse. plug your wire into the tap.) http://www.cooperbussmann.com/6/BladeFusesandAccessories.html
December 28, 201014 yr Owner Like CajFlynn told me that if he got to tap a wire for whatever reason that wire connection will be shrink tub, rapped in tape, then encased in silcone...
