Assuming I didnt blow the fuse yet.

- July 23, 2011, 16:57:02 PMFactory turn signal has a hot lead and ground lead, on my 99 the ground lead is black with a yellow stripe. left turn is green, right is green with a yellow stripe. Not knowing how many wires you have on the new setup but there has to be more than 1. I believe somewhere you will need to have at least 4 connections or wires; 1 left turn, 1 right turn, 1 plate light and a ground.
just wire all the grounds together and connect to the new ground. If no seperate ground is on ths new fixture, hook wires to a metal part on the new plate frame

- July 23, 2011, 14:23:04 PMMy new saddlebags knocked off my rear turnsignals. I purchased a new license plate with turn signals built in. I pulled the two wires through the old housing. The new plate only has one wire. Now:
when I turn my key on the turn signal indicator on the dash doesnt light. When I connect either of the 2 existing wires to my one wire on the new plate nothing happens.
Is the fuse for the rear turnsignals dedicated? All my other lights work fine. I assume if I connect the new license plate to a 12 volt source I should be able to confirm that the problem isnt with the plate (before sending it back). Would this be a correct assumption?
