Hello

A european problem but I need your input and knowledge.

I dont know how my car can passed inspection for so many years with previous owner - but when I tried I got shot down for not having separate turnsignal and stop lights. In this case I need the amber ones for turn signal. And red for stop.

After a lot of searching and waiting from the states I got ”export tail lights” and everything seems good.

Done some electrical cleanup and been connecting and finding out what goes where… I guess you guys know what I mean 😁

BUT

I still have a stoplight flashing when I use the turn signal and by following the schematics in my Haynes I found out it seems I need to cut the wire somewhere to ”seperate” turn signals from stop lights.
But I dont wanna screw with the anti-brake controller.

As it is now I have

Brown/red - turn signal
Dark green/red - turn signal

White/tan - CHMSL/stop lights l/r

Anyone Jones how to solve this? I really wanna pass inspection and use the Wrangler this summer!

Thanks.
 
Got to the Resources section and get the Factory Service Manual for your year. It will show the export wiring.
