Are the lights on a trailer connected to the taillights on the S2k in much the same way
that they are on most other cars?

Thanks, Cal

 

you might actually find more info about this over in the racing forum... many of those guys tow mini trailers to the track...

 

Please move this to Racing and Comp.

Thanks, Cal

Yes, with one caveat. Since the S2K uses separate bulbs for the brake/turn signal, I believe you have to get a combiner to get both those signals to the single dual-filament on the trailer.

There are a bunch of guys with trailers here so I'm sure one of them will pop in with the right answer soon

 

Yeah, you need a "five wire into four wire" converter, IIRC.

 

thanks John.

 

I bought my adapter at whateverinthehell the local parts store is near me. It's a common piece and doesn't cost much...

 

I recommend using an isolating "lighting converter", which senses the states of the car's lights but only draws power directly from the battery. It costs about $40-50 at Pep Boys.
