Marker light blink?

[EMD_DRIVER]

This may be a stupid idea, but I tow our fifth wheel quite a bit and get quite a few blinks of big truck marker lights. What I'd like to do is put a NC momentary switch in the cab, to be able to return the favor, when someone lets me know it's ok to change lanes.

What I'd like to know, is the wire colors to the trailer marker lights. I'd like to keep my wire run as short as possible and tie into the wiring inside the left front fender.

Thanks guys

i assume you have the tow package?

either way the marker light wire is always brown.

I agree. I know I appreciate the courtesy couple of marker blinks when I flash a big rig that's passing me and would like to do the same.

I just pull on the four ways right after they flash or if I got the cruise set I just do a couple blinks left then right

Just a couple of left/right blinks.

I usually hit the "emergency" 4-ways a couple of blinks.

I got my trailer park lights hooked up to a relay.

To make them flash, all you need to do is cut the wire that comes from the light switch into the relay to turn the relay on, and run it to a toggle switch that has on/off and blink. Then run the wire back to the trigger wire on the relay.

That's how the wires are done up in my dump truck, and I can also flash my roof lights/mirror lights.

Manually hitting the marker lights at the back of the trailer like the truckers do is way cool. I think I wanna do that as well.

I usually do the hazard blink, but the cool factor of blinking the markers is what I'm after. It's not something 99.999999% of RV'ers do and I like being a bit different than "Everybody"
