    Reverse Lights/Rear Turn signal wiring help

    Hey Guys,
    Can someone explain to me how to wire in the 2 pole flasher into the small rear taillights. This is how I currently have it hooked up with no luck :-/...

    12V ---> X Terminal on Flasher
    Reverse Lights_12V ----> Bulb terminal
    Turn Signal_12V -----> L Terminal on Flasher & Bulb Terminal
    Flasher Gnd-----> Chasis Gnd

    Please correct my mistakes. Thank you

    Jason

    The turn signal wiring goes through the hazard switch. Basic flow diagram is this:


    Code:
    12V Battery ---------------|                                            |---- Right Blinker Switch ---- Right Blinker Bulbs ---- Ground
                               |                                            |---Hazard Switch -----------|
                         Hazard Switch ---------- Turn Signal Module -------|
                               |                                            |---Hazard Switch -----------|
    12V Ignition Switched -----|                                            |---- Left Blinker Switch ----- Left Blinker Bulbs ----- Ground
    The hazard switch has three parts:
    1. A switch that switches the circuit to be powered by battery when the hazard switch is pushed and powered by ignition when it's not.
    2. A switch that activates the left blinker
    3. A switch that activates the right blinker

    You have the ground on the flasher module correct, but the other two should both go to the hazard switch.

    Thanks for the reply. The thing that I'm most confused about is how this 2 pin bulb is going to serve a dual purpose as reverse lights and blinkers. Ex. There are 3 signals. Blinker, reverse, and ground but only two pins on the bulb. Any further help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
