Question:
Hello, I did some wiring on 2001 version of this trailer: PJ Trailers 6" Channel Equipment (CC) trailer Everything works fine when driving, except when I turn, the blinkers on the marker lights dim slightly as they blink, and when I apply the brakes the marker lights on the front of the fender probably others as well, those are the only I can see while driving dim to the point of being off. What did I do wrong?

Expert Reply:
The side marker lights on your 2001 PJ Trailers 6" Channel Equipment (CC) were only designed to be clearance lights. These lights are like the Optronics # MCL55AB and if you were to want to also have the clearance lights function with the turn signals the lights would have to be specifically designed to work as both like the GloLight # MCL121AK9PVG. You would also need a Converter # C56196 to separate the turn signals from the brake light functions. Currently we do not have any round recessed clearance lights which have the ability to also function as turn signals.
