lighting wire up!

[CB7IceMan]

Okay well I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer. I onced try to hook up my corner light to my bumper light to have my bumper light stay lit when my corner lights were on but i think I blew the ground wire for the corner light because not its dead. I checked all the fuses and nothing was blown so I'm guessing that a wire burnt out. Well anways what i want to know is that will it be possible to wire the dead corner light to the one that is working to make the dead on turn on? will that be possible? and I also got some fog lights that i picked up from the junk yard last week that i want to hook up and i was thinking about just trying to wire them up to the head lights or corner lights to have them turn on when i turn on my lights. any advice will be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Try using the same power wire as the turn signal, just ground it to a different location... that should work

is there any way i can find out what wire i burnt out because I'm not to sure if it was the ground wire or a different wire that i burnt out.

Use a test light, ground the alligator clip, then poke the tip of the probe into each wire, if the light comes on, thats power, if not, then thats the ground

Your local parts store, Wal Mart... most every place that sells automotive stuff sells them

do NOT wire the bumper lights directly to the corner lights. they are not made to handle that current. you will blow stuff up (as you already noticed). you may have fried the harness or just the bulb or fuse. first fix your original problem then worry about wiring the next stuff.

this goes for foglights as well. search on here on how to wire them correctly. i've made two DIYs on this .

i checked the bulbs and the harness. everything seems fine. when this happened i smelt something burning like in the driver side probably from burning something up under the steering wheel where the fuse box is. my cousin said it might have been the main relay thats why i'm asking if its that.

i'd push your seat all the way back and get a flash light that's the only way you're going to find that toasted wire. if you did burn a wire, that's going to be a pita.
