Re: Help- Identifying wiring for lights.
I can send you the information from an WJ (or an older XJ) but I don't know
that is the same for the KJs.
Who has a Liberty manual and can check the wiring diagrams?

Re: Help- Identifying wiring for lights.
Personally, I'd be using a buddy to hit the brakes for me, and I'd look for
12vDC. then, I'd turn the lights on and look for another 12vDC. Finally, I'd
turn the blinker on and look once again for the 12vDC. If only one circuit
is activated at a time, then the 12vDC should move around with each check,
and only appear once with every check.

Thanks for the responses.
I dismantled a tail light assembly and worked out which terminal was
which and worked it backwards.
So for anyone else doing thie job with an aftermarket bypass unit.
Left Side Rear Indicator - Green and Red Cable
Right Side Rear indicator - Brown and Red Cable
Fog lamps - Brown and White Cable
Righ tside Tail Lamp - Green and Yellow
Left side Tail Lamp - Black and Yellow
Brake Lamps - White and Orange
Reverse Lamps - Black and Green
Earth cable Black and White
The live feed for the bypass unit is supposed to be run from the
battery live, with a 15 amp in-line fuse.
However, it can be tapped into the live feed to the rear power outlet
(pink and black), which is always live.
Somewhere someone asked about removing the rear right panel for access
to the lighting block. ..
Unclip the rear deck trim and the rear roof trim.
There is a single plastic philips head screw with a luggage retaining
ring, (not that it would retain very much at all), when you try and
unscrew this it will chew up.
Lever out the side panel along the side of the rear frame and open it
out carefully to access the right wing block in the rear wheel arch
well (fender well).
If you lift the rear carpet there is a rubber seal about 1.5 inches in
diameter. If you puncture this you can run your trailer lighting cable
down through this without breaking any seals or drilling clean metal.
Hope that can help someone somewhere.
