M101A2 Wiring Question

[ThunderCracker]

I am switching out my trailer lights from civilian lights back to the military setup. I have the light mounted and plugged in. I am at the point of plugging the Intervehicular Cable with the Chassis Wiring Harness. I have plugged the wires in like below.



22-460 --> 22-460
23 --> 23
21 --> 21
24-483 --> 24-483
24-461 --> 24-461
24-484 --> 24-484
90A --> bolted to the inside of the drawbar.

I'm trying to figure out where plug 37 connects to. The wiring diagram shows it connecting to 37. I don't see a 37 coming from the back of the trailer. I tried to find this wire in the TM but can't seem to pin point this one. I also tried searching but got posts about going from military to civilian.

Take a look at this page of the TM.

In the list of military wire numbers, 37 is listed as "Outlet Socket".

That's the diagram I have been using. So does that mean 37 is not used on this trailer?

In the list of military wire numbers, 37 is listed as "Outlet Socket".

Is this "list of military wire numbers" universal to all vehicles/trailers?

This is a very timely thread as I need to add a license plate light to my 101

37 is not used. If you goto the porch plug on a semi trailer, this number will have power all the time. Carry on without it.

Yes it is Ed.

Why not just pull power from the left tail-light? Wire #21.

The list is posted in this thread(post #9).

Thanks Recovery and Doghead. Getting the trailer ready to pull in the Veterans Day parade.

Because until this post (just got the trailer titled and plated) I didn't know which wire number to pull, but thanks to DH's pic, I don't have to figure out which wire to use now.

I got the trailer lights wired up and have a small problem. The left and right turn signals work, the brake lights work and the running lights work. The problem I have is if the running lights are on or the brake light is on and I turn a turn signal on both the left and right lights blink. I have checked the ground and the connections. Anyone seen anything like this?

Odds are very good that you still have a ground issue. Bothbolt in each tail light nead clean grounds. Paint piercing washer work best if you have them.

Also the grounding straps inside the lights may not make contact with the housing or could be broken,... the plates are on rubber so the sockets are grounded with straps
