Now before someone tells me, there was a thread started on this topic but from what I see, the last post was in 2016, please correct me if I am wrong and re-direct me.
I am in the process of replacing front and side marker lights with LEDs. This is the current situation:
1. I know the two brown wires are positive and the earth is a white wire inside the light cover screwed to the cladding.
3. I think I have worked out the side markers are daisy chained together, with the last marker only having one brown wire.
2. I used a test light and none of the side markers work. When I run a wire with an alligator clip and battery from the brown wire that comes up from the floor, the lights work.
3. It appears there is a break in the brown wire from the front of the van to the rear.
Does the cladding need to be removed to access the wire to check for a break, I would prefer not too. ant thoughts on what I can do?
Much appreciate
Michael

G day, I have the same problem . I have replaced the tail lights and blinkers . The blinkers and hazard lights work but the tail lights do not . I think it could be a resistor issue.
cheers ,

Possibly it could be you need an LED resistor. In my case, I need them for my indicators but not the tail lights. I believe that is because I have several side lights plus the tail lights, so there is sufficient current draw. Do you have an incandescent globe you can put in the circuit with alligator clips or something? If it then works that would tend to confirm the need for the LED resistor. If that test does not resolve it, look elsewhere for a fault.
