Can anyone tell me how to wire an early model tracker to run a 4 post wire harness on a trailer? Any pictures would be super helpful.
WTF? Does anyone make a harness that works on the early 90's trackers? I tried to buy one from a local parts place but they showed me one for late '90s and newer.
BTW last weekend I installed a 3" home made spring lift and added 31" tires on ford wheels and it is awesome. My brother in-law says, "why don't the manufacturers make trackers at the factory like that?" And I think we have all asked ourselves that. I didn't have the heart to tell him they've stopped making them all together.

I think it would be just as easy to add
your own harness, buy one and retro
fit it, go in thru the tail lights and use
Scotch locks to splice into the wires,
this way there is no bare wires or wire
stripping involved.
Find your tail, stop, left and right wires
and hook in to them, should take less than
one hour, feed the pigtail thru the factory
wire holes, thru the rubber and it should look
almost stock

It's real easy to do. Take out the left rear tail light, both sets of wires and the ground are there. I had to use a tail light converter that I got at Walmart to make it work correctly.

The picture above shows a simple diode unit which should only cost about 20.00 which takes your six lights and in turn makes them work with only four,they also make a powered unit for like a ford exploder that you run a single 12volt line to it so your new extra lights do not go through your turn signal switch and burn it up and also it will blink correctly,alot more money but if you tow alot it is worth the extra 40.00 or so for it.

I just went to Walmart and bought a $12 converter harness, similar to the one pictured above, but without all the extra pieces. I just wired it in to the harness behind the left tail light and for small trailers with only a few lights it works just fine...

Same one I got ;) I've been using it for about a year and have no issues. I tow a trailer a couple times a week hauling off trash, we live in the county and have no trash service. :-\

Yeah, i've got the same wiring thingy, which i wired a few years back. I'm sure it works great, but i still have never used it. Did i waste that $20 3 years ago, or did I invest it in the vehicle for use at a later date?? At the time i thought i really needed it....

Thanks for the input guys. I tried it Wild's way a few years back and could never get the running lights to work with brakes and signals. (ppsssssstt, btw I'm cheap) I'll spring for the converter and set it up right.
