Aside from your sense of humor, what I like about your videos is how you take the time to reuse and repair stuff to use. We live in a world where people don’t repair they replace. Everything is considered to be disposable.

Wow, all these years in the automotive field and I never seen anyone use those diodes for that. Thank you!

Possibly your best video yet! Love the training, love the Jeep (as always) And look at you, getting all fancy with turn signals on a Willys! Very impressive!

You did a fine job explaining how to wire your Jeep and trailer. This is a great video I enjoyed it very much 👍✌️🇺🇲

*- Great tutorial, James. Plain talk, clear grasp of what you are doing and why.*

37 years of teaching industrial arts and still learning. My grandson picked up a FUBAR 46 Willys and is hitting me up for guidance. At any rate, 6 volt to 12 volt. Now lighting and figuring out exactly what you did. Amazing help. I like your sense of humor as well! Obviously you been there. Do like your use of old when you can. Of course, I do tell the boy to use the research...it's much easier today! Thanks.

between this and the wiring video, it just made my wiring redo on my 65 cj5a ALOT easier. I did have the trailer harness laying around also. Makes things so much easier! Love the flatties! Still want one!

Officer: Ok, Im gonna sorta write you a few tickets. 😂

Finally, now I understand. How to wire lights! I always learn something when I watch your videos, from old to new. Thanks:) Don

I had no idea you could wire in diods like that. I have burned out a few of those trailer light connectors. Very cool what you have done.

You have some of the coolest toys! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

For the tow light configuration on my jeeps i interrupted the wires going to the back with a triple pole, double throw toggle switch. Takes care of the directionals and taul lights. Grainger's

Black hot & white ground is the standard in heavy trucks and trailers.

Thanks for the basic wiring education. Keep the videos coming 😁

But can you brake and signal at the same time?

At first I thought that was my old jeep! Same color, etc. But mine was a 45 GPW with hood and grill from a 2A and didn’t have tail gate etc. I sold it in 1998 when I was still in Alaska. Brought back memories though.

Love the rapid fire videos lately. Very glad I found your channel.

white is gound in trailer wiring to. they often change after someone has had to digg through the wiring but not always. that light is for trailer marker lights.

Educated on diodes! Love it. Now it makes sense, thank you.

You sound like "Tom Bodet" ... "We'll leave the lights on for you" Or, KING OF THE HILL dad.

Here in the uk, we have the separate indicator light but it’s nice to know how wire up for other ways.

The black hot with the white cold is also the convention of RV wiring. Ron W4BIN

Nice work with the blinker switch install. Wiring is one thing that holds me back on my projects. I just plain and simple don't get it 🤷‍♂ Glad you could fit the tow bar also. Take care and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

Obviously this was a year ago, so you may have realized by now that you wired it wrong: When you hit the brakes you have no turn signal in the rear, because the lights will be on constantly - and from what you showed, you didn't test that the turn signal works when the brakes are pressed, which it won't when you're only using basic diodes. In order for it to be wired correctly, the turn signal switch needs to disable the brake light power to the side you're flashing. Effectively the brake lights need to be wired through the turn signal switch, so when it's in neutral, the power is free to go to both sides, and then when you indicate left, the brake light power to the left is cut off and power is sent to the turn signal relay instead, and vice versa for the right side. It appears the turn signal switch you added is for separate turn signal and brake light curcuits, and won't work with a combined circuit unless you get a bit more creative with the wiring.

Enjoyed the video, good explanation of wiring; Two questions 1. Where did you get your rear lights (brake and signal) 2. What did those seats come out of? Keep doing what you do !!

@15:37 you will love those led lights…. I used them on a Kawasaki mule assume! Myself I used the rubber grommets for them! They an come with plastic covered with crome.

I enjoy your videos….. you and I are on the same page!!! Except I’m now old and having trouble working on auto/ stuff!

Your shop looks way too much like mine. Stuff everywhere but I know the general area of where to find what I need. 😁 Thanks for the video!

I love that CJ2a found one on FB here in Ar near me $9500 fresh yellow paint old NDT tires IIRC you paid 950 for that red one. Im about to tackle the wiring on my 66 AMC wagon took for ever to get brake parts for the thing.

Ty led knowledge black and white

Illuminating...

as always another great video thank you again for sharing your knowledge

great info thx for sharing

What about braking and signaling at the same time? Wouldn't it all be easier with separate directional lights on the back?

For the diodes you could just put those LED running lights. You already showed on the battery how they work.

Good job on the lights …

One of your best!!!!

I had a tow bar on my homemade series 2a ,I never dared to take it off .I would like to learn more about your honda fat bike .

Love the don't be scared to fix stuff make it work again approach. Its old where are the new parts for old stuff? No worries old stuff can be fixed with new approach.

great presentation even i understood. .

What about brakes on, plus using a turn signal. Thats what all the fancy circuitry in the uhaul box does. As is, if you hit the brakes, your rear lights will be on solid with no turn indicator.

Cool video.

thank you!

If there is a round rubber wheel at the top of your switch housing, mount the switch so it contacts the steering wheel! When you use your turn signals, then they will automatically turn off!

31:56 отрезай у пластиковой бутылки верхнюю часть и насыпай туда мелочёвку - это удобнее чем хранить мелочёвку в пакетах, как пробку для обрезанной бутылки можешь использовать смятый пакет

Who needs mud tyres ? Cork heads who run on the highway.A/T tyres suit most surfaces and last heaps longer plus cheaper

I never realized how much I would like seeing your wiring “schematic” haha very helpful. Could you possibly do a small recap with drawing on the hi beams and low beams again? My cj5 has a two position switch and first position is running lights and gauges and second position is hi beams. I don’t really understand if I need a floor switch or what kinda setup the previous owner had or if he just set it up to brights all the time. All the wiring is new… but no floor switch. I’m just a little lost on the best way to not blind the neighbors

Great video. Thank you!

At 31:12 In Michigan you can pull two trailers but one of them can not be on a ball…. Pin only! You chose which one!

Fogged plastic lens can be cleared up with OFF bug spray.

Spray the switch with CRC Lectro-Motive! Stuff will clean the contacts, and it won't short them out either!

Great video man!

Fairly new subscriber here. Perhaps you've seen my comments on some of your other videos. Enjoy you video style.

"Ooh, hello" 😂

Buy the wrong part to find out the right part. Every time

Why get into all that complication with diodes? Why don't you just use separate indicator lights (or turn signals, as you call them) at the rear? Here in England it is illegal to have the brake lights and indicators working off the same bulb.

can you make a video on the slot cars? those are neat.

Wicked

That year jeep wasn't made with turn signals so you legally didn't have to add turn signals but I understand you did it for safety

LEDs are different!

Nice!

There is a wire on your turn signal switch for your brake light .

I like the rusty junk repairs. I know you wont answer this but I'm asking anyway. What do you do for a living? Do you live off KZfaq monthly checks or did you inherit large amounts of cash. All the land, the cars , the parts, Just living cost so much !! How do you do it????????????????????????????????

Hi! If you answer comments, please tell me some basic info on the motorcycle you had in that 3rd trailer near the end of this video. I've never seen a Honda like that, and would appreciate any help on finding one for myself! Thanks

🇺🇸👍

Interesting..... What do you do for your day job? I'm guessing something in the electrical field.

Nice Automotive Human Centipede.

Do you have a build video for the fatcat bike?

Hey from down under what is the best paint to hide sins

Parts stores only 7 minutes away ,instead I'll take it apart. 🎯

Wait is that a 2wheel Honda ATC?

love Jeep now linseed oil under all, splash IT ON. Metal , rubber, plastic , loves linseed oil. keeps water out. paint no good, shrinks and swells diferent than metal pulls away from metal lets wet in and holds it. worse than bare, .

Da

2 trailers, i dont like, how are your turns? just use one big trailer......
