Default sidemarker stress

man i i just installed my sidemarkers... hell of a time...
anyways... my right parking light does not turn on when i signal...but when the headlights are on, they turn on. hmmm.. i checked the wiring and since i use 18 gauge stranded wire, i used a female connector and crimped the 2 sides of the red wire on and the 2 sides of the green wire on another connector. i checked the wiring and they all connect. why is this??
thankss

Side markers should only be wired in 2 ways..

green to side marker and red to side marker

or

red to side marker and black to side marker

---------------------------------------------------

you should check ur connections again...

check the green wire to the corner light...

does ur side marker blink when u signal?

-------------------------------------------------

The green wire is the turning signal, red is the parking light signal, black is ground.

Did you cut off the wire to the parking light/turn signal socket to where it only turns on with the headlights, and not for the turn signal?

You're not supposed to cut the red parking light completely.
