Default Sidemarker Help!!!!! ASAP!!!!

O.k. I'm trying to wire up my sidemarkers like in the other threads but they are kind of shady on the wires. I want my sidemarkers to stay on with the corners and blink when I put the turn signals on. Well I tapped into the green wire and red wire but when I turn my corners on nothing happens. When click to turn the turn signal left they blink. But when I click it to turn on the right blinker all the lights come on. So what am I doing wrong? Thanks

Do I tie the red wire into the red and green wire then tie the black wire into the black wire?

You need to learn to use a multimeter or test light. If you knew that, you could easily determine where to tap the wires, by yourself. So run "how to use a test light" or "how to use a multimeter" through google or ask jeeves. It's a valuable skill and you will use it for the rest of your life.

Your other option is to look at a service manual. It sounds like what you are trying to do requires the use of a relay and you should also research Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relays.

O.k. I just re-wired everything back how it was and my running lights will not come on for anything. I replaced 2 fuses that were blown but still nothing. The blinkers will come on but not my running lights. Please someone help me

Does your cluster light up? If not you crossed a wire causing the tail running lights, corners and cluster fuse to blow again. Make sure your wires are not crossing where you had them tapped in.
