95 S-10 Truggy Build

[93 Krawler]

Ok, here's one that makes no sense to me. See if you guys can solve this.
On the s10, the factory harness is running to the back to run tail, turn, back up, fuel pump, and fuel level. I cut the ends so i could reconnect later. So my issue is just with the rear lighting. I have a yellow, green "both turn signals", brown "tail lights" light green "back ups", and a white "brake lights" which i assumed was ground. Nope... I still had the tail light harness and didn't see a white wire anywhere. Where did this white wire hookup to run the brake lights? Any ideas...

The yellow and Green are also the brake lights.
It's a turn and brake light.

Then where does the white wire go. The brake lights do not work without the white wire.

If yellow is left turn and left-side brake,
and green is right turn and right-side brake,
maybe white is third, high-mounted brake light?

Is there power to the white wire when brake is applied?
The white "Should " be ground

I believe that wire is ran inside the cab.

Yes, power when applied. Grounding it blows fuse when brake is pushed.

I ended up running a diode from the white wire to each turn signal wires and it works like it should. Had to buy some resistors to put inline on the turn signals so they would blink (All LED's). I figured they would fast blink, but they wouldn't blink at all.
The list is getting shorter, but still quite a bit to do.

Getting close. Still have the front exo to do and some misc stuff. Sittin a lil high right now. Should settle a bit.

Rig looks sweet and I'm sure it will perform well with the time you put into it, this may be 1 of the only pics we get to see of it nice, After a run up Crawford ' s cry and Lions den it will have a new look.

Nice to see it on all 4’s. Looks really good! I think you will definitely need some wheel spacers in the back.

Looks good. I've always like the S-10 Truggy look, and anything that still looks like a vehicle. Now just needs a new set of 40" stickys on aluminum beadlocks!

Yes it does look good! I can't wait to see how this does down at Slade! Mine looks like a vehicle still sort of

Are you going to be able to make it to Slade as well?

Thanks. I'm happy with the way it's turning out.
New tires and wheels are gonna have to wait. This build has cost a lot more than i planned.

Yep, always turns out that way!

Not sure if I'll be able to make it to Slade or not. Have the steering rack out putting in some upgrade parts but haven't had time to finish it. Apparently the gremlins visited our house recently and caused havoc....upstairs shower drain started leaking so had to cut out the ceiling to fix it and then patch the ceiling, dishwasher quit so fixing it, icemaker in fridge quit so fixed it, and now the garbage disposal started leaking so that is next on the list. Almost forget that the steering cylinder on the lawn tractor went out and had to fix that also. Too cheap to pay people to come in and fix these things because that takes away money from the toys.......
