i have everything figured out but the brake lights they usually work of the turn signals but when I hook the brake lights into the turn signals it shorts out so how do I go about hooking the brake light. I have all the wiring figured out what is what just do not know where to hook the brake wire to make it work properly. With out put a second set of lights on trailer for brake lights.

That truck is typically a three wire system. That means that you'll have to either use the proper T connector or a converter. From what you have said, you only have to find the brake light. The simplest way to do this is shut everything off on the truck and have someone else step on the brake. While the brake is down, probe the wire you suspect is correct. If the test light glows, have the other person let go of the brake. If it goes out, then you goit it.

get a good probe with light and be sure your ground is connected right. it'll take time so draw your self diagrams and wire colors.

Mine works ok 1982 B2000 steel timing chain 269000 miles no engine work ever done.35mpg.

In order to hook up your trailer you need a "foreign car adaptor." North American cars have a shared bulb for the brake and the turn signal where as your Mazda b2000 has seperate bulbs you may be able to tell at a glance due to orange part of the tailight which is the turnsignal alone

One example of this is an item is part number 85210 two Wire to three Wire Taillight Adapter offered by Reese Hitches
