Question:
I am using my oem wires on the lights. The brake and turn hooked up to the red, when I turn on the turn signals it backfeeds and everything blinks. When I have the turns on the brake lights over ride it.

The Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn - Submersible - 11 Diodes - Red Lens # STL69RB sounds like the ground wire is not connected to a clean connection. It should be bare metal to metal and free of corrosion or debris. If your clearance lights are blinking, it is most definitely a ground issue and maybe your main trailer ground needs to be looked at as well.
