Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

The ground wire for trailer lights is typically white.
check the fuse, if it is not blown, your tail lights may be missing ground, locate the ground wire on your tail light socket, then get a wire and a metal thumb tack, push the thumb tack thru the ground wire and splice the extra wire and wrap the bare wire around the thumb tack, turn your tail lights on and touch the bare metal of your van and see if it lights up, if it does lights up, just splice it and reconnect to the new ground source, hope this help you out :-)
Two 20 amp ground fault interrupter circuit breakers are used to power the lights and receptacles for the medium shelter.
Yes, you can typically replace NiCd batteries with NiMH batteries in solar lights as long as the voltage and size of the batteries are compatible. NiMH batteries are a more environmentally friendly option and may provide better performance in some cases.
Connect the black wire from the switch to the black wires of both lights. Connect the white wires together. Connect the red wire, if used for the motion sensor, to the black wires on the lights. Connect all ground wires together and to the ground terminal on the switch. Make sure to turn off power before connecting any wires for safety.
because you hooked into the lights ground I bet usually you blow the fuse everytime you turn on the lights check your radio ground
The two types of test lights are neon test lights and voltage testers. Neon test lights use a neon bulb to indicate the presence of voltage by lighting up. Voltage testers detect the presence of voltage without the need for a light to physically turn on, making them safer to use in certain situations.
answer: replace the headlights switch.
go to www.lextech.org they have everything you need to replace
Which lights are you attempting to replace?
Check your ground wires. You could have a slightly cut wire. You have a short somewhere.
Check wiring and sockets for dead short to ground at: Parking/Tail and dash lights Remove all bulbs and sockets -replace 1 at a time until fuse blows Investigate that socket Check wiring and sockets for dead short to ground at: Parking/Tail and dash lights Remove all bulbs and sockets -replace 1 at a time until fuse blows Investigate that socket
replace brake light switch located on brake pedal under dash
Check the ground on the light.

Take the lights out, then replace them with new ones
I believe it's a poor ground contact possibly within the switch itself. if your car is rusty look for external ground contacts and make sure that they are on clean shiney metal. If all looks good i'd replace the switch.
