HI!... Well this weekend I decided to do the "BLINKER MOD" on my 2007 RANGER. As you know the newer Rangers only have a turn signal bulb in the front head light assembly. Well this mod turns the corner marker light into a turn signal as well. This mod allowing more visibility of your turn signals to other motorists.

Here's a few pics :

Here is the stock set-up from the factory on the D/S.

The BLACK/YELLOW (black wire with yellow stripe) needs to be cut. Make sure to leave enough wire so that this mod can be reversed if desired.

I used weather tight male/female electrical connectors for a cleaner look plus it would be very easy to return to stock later if I wanted to. The dead end of the wire got a opposite connector, and I simply used another connector to block it off. I then used some shrink tubing to make it water resistant.

Now I took the other end of the wire and tapped it into the PURPLE/GREY (purple wire with grey strip). This would be the bottom wire out of the 3 wires on the turn signal harness with the quick clip facing up.

It should look like this :

This is the finished product after everything was taped back up :

doesnt this make the corner light stay off until the blinker is activated?

i would think a resistor and set of diodes could make the corner light illuminate dimly with the parking lights and flash brighter with the turn signal...

HI!... No the corner marker light stays on just like before. As soon as you hit the turn signal, the corner marker light will flash with the stock turn signal light if your DRL's are on or your regular head lights with the fog lights off. Once you turn the fog lights on the corner marker light with flash opposite of the stock turn signal bulb.
 
Only one suggestion....say no to using scotch locks for tapping into wires.....open connections like that cause too many corrosion issues and pretty soon you've got green wiring thats falling apart.
 
HI!... I've been using scotch locks for over 20 years. Never had an issue with them. I put silicone in them before crushing them and wrap everything in electrical tape afterwords. FYI.
 
Looks like you've been doing quite a few mods to the truck. Looks good.
