You will need a vehicle wiring diagram available from a dealership, online via a forum or from a haynes manual you can purchase online.

Unless you have a 12v electrical probe tester you can use on the wiring harness. It will show you which wire is being fed current while the signal is working.

SOURCE: how to connect a 4 wire trailer system to a 1994

Tail lights and brake lights are on the same wire.
Connect the wire from the brake light to the connector in the car to the tail lamp wire connector and you will be set to roll

How to wire turn signal mirrors on 04 cavalier

Did you get them new? If so, there should be a schematic wiring diagram with them. You could also search the net. Google the model of your mirrors, and perhaps there will be site with the schematics. Normally, if it was me, I'd patch the parking lamp wire into the front marker lights, the tun signal wire right where it says, the turn signals, and the other is a ground which can be grounded to anywhere on the bare metal frame. Use your basic wiring skills. If you don't have any basic wiring skills, do some web research on it. You can solve this yourself, you just need some confidence and a little more knowledge.

Side lights dont work

Fuse sure didn't play, bulb is unlikely to be all bad. Check the turn signal switch, first find the turn signal switch plug, put the key to ON file, in trying to find a turn signal lamp switch wire (flash to the thread) will this wire with no light ON one side of the turn signal line connected to see if a turn signal light, the light is turn signal switch is broken, or the plug contact undesirable, don't light it is turn signal switch to light ON one side of the light path, in order to determine whether the light bulb is broken can open a small lamp or led brake lights to borrow their wire leads to a turn signal whether turn signal light, so you can determine whether the light bulb not bright side is broken.auto diagnostic tool.

Can I change over to 03 power mirrors with turn signals on my 02 without the turn signals ?

the mirrors should change over, but if you want the turn signals to work you will need to do some extra wiring or find the wiring harness for the turn signals.

Not starting first time

I'm guessing by your brief description that it doesnt start first time but does after a couple of attempts? If so, i would start by looking at the tdc sensor located on the nearside of the engine bay, bolted ontop of the gearbox. This picks up a signal from the flywheel as it rotates on cranking which in turn sends a signal to injector computer. This is used to determine the position of the engine to ensure correct timing of fueling and firing. Sometimes a wiggle of the wire will determine the fault is definitely with the sensor and renault repair is for a new sensor and a modified loom.

If wiggling the wire doesnt work it could be a more serious fault i.e the injection computer is receiving a signal from the tdc sensor but in turn isnt outputting a signal to the fuel/ignition system or just a broken wire.

But hopefully a wiggle of the wire will determine the cheaper option

Hope this helps

How do you replace the turn signal light in the mirror of a 2007 rabbit

Its tricky, you have to take the whole mirror apart in order to take the clear lens out where the light comes from. you cannot just replace the bulb. you have to replace the clear lens that comes with a built in led light.
first you pull on the mirror glass. do this very gently.. start from the top on the glass and pull very gently until the mirror comes off.. if you have a heated mirror, after you pull the glass, you will have to disconnect the wire. then you will see 3 torx screws that hold the top part on the mirror. losen those. take the top part off, then from behind you will see two more screws which you losen to remove the bottem part of the mirror. then you will see to clips that hold the led blinker in place. push on those carefully and it should come out.. you will also have to be carefull when you dissconect the wire from the led turn signal. as you might break the clip.. then replace it and follow the these step backwards..

Side Mirror Turn Signals Malfunctioning.

You have hooked them up to the wrong power wire. They have to be hooked up to the power wire after the flasher control. The easist way would be to go in the engine compartment, find the back of the turn tignal, and conect the mirror power wire (red) to the power wire there. You may need more wire than what the side mirrors came with, but this would be the quickest solution

I want to add in some mirror mounted LED lights, like the newer vehicles (the lighted arrows in the mirrors). I've got the led's I want, now I need to know which wire to tap in to (at the door wiring...

the easiest spot to tap into would be up at the front turn signal trying to find the correct wire in the factory harness where all the wires are together is going to be really tough to do if you pull the front turn signal out and use a meter it should be fairly simple to find the positive wire there.
