Ok so I have a 2001 and just installed a set of Jcr rear taillight boxes.
We ordered the reverse light kit from Jcr and armed with my search results we ordered the Tow ready converter that the threads said to use and a ep27 flasher relay to get rid of the fast blink.I have it kind of rigged up to work for now while I figure this out and the ep27 flasher relay worked great to get rid of the fast blink.
The problem I am having is mine is wired just like in the walkthrough Hammered did. When I hit my brakes however the L.E.D. only briefly flickers. If I have someone hold the brake on when you attach the stop wire to the converter box it briefly flickers. Everything else works fine otherwise. I used a tester that lights up when touched to a powered wire. When I hit the brake, power is going into the trailer converter at the stop input wire. but only briefly flickering on the stop/turn wire out from the converter box to the taillights.
We used the tester to identify each wire coming from the XJ and from the pics in other threads I have seen we have them right.
Some other variables are when we were installing the quarter guard my buddy tried to remove the brace on the drivers side behind where the spare would be and when I was wiring it I realized he had unhooked a couple of grounds. I reattached them (2) I wonder if I missed one except that if I wire in the original bulbs they all work correctly.
Another is that I have the stock tow wiring I wonder if that could be affecting it somehow. Or maybe I should try to piggyback it from the stock tow wiring to the Leds and throw out the tow ready converter?
For temporary I have found 3 ways to cross wire it that kind of work but each way sacrifices one function on at least one side. I feel like I should be able to just hook up the one stop wire and be done but Idk whats wrong..
I am also color blind lol, next post will be pics of the wiring.
If you know what you are looking at please comment and confirm it is right or guide me to correct it please.
