Usually no fuse on the battery.  How many colors do you have?


6 ... black, brown, blue, white, green, yellow.

I connected them according to my dealer's order (and the diagram I posted above) and the only light that worked was the right tail light when I turned on my headlights.

So it seems to me that maybe either I don't have a good connection on some of the terminals I connected or they are not in the correct order or maybe I should be checking some fuses somewhere. I have most of my tools & test equipment packed away because I'm preparing to sell my house & move.

Just flash your headlights when you are going to make a right turn.  Tongue

6 wires takes care of the main functions.  Usually blue is brake controller output, yellow/green/brown are for left brake/turn, right brake/turn, and running lights (not sure which), white and black for power and ground (not sure which).  I would narrow down the failure points by leaving the pod out of the equation for now.  Use a voltmeter or light bulb on the connection on the TV to figure out which pin is for brake light, right turn, left turn, etc.  Use a known good ground on the TV and not the wire you think is ground.
