Simple Chase Light Harness w/ no OEM wiring modifications

[ShastaJT6]

Wanted to share this here in case it saves anyone else some time and headache.

I wanted to mount a Chase light on my roll bar (Rear facing light bar with turn and stop signals) and I like to avoid tapping into factory harnesses whenever possible. I used a Curt 55384 USCAR Y Harness that goes in between the factory harness and the USCAR connector on the rear bumper, and creates an additional Flat 4 PIN output. Then, I used a Curt 56196 2-To-3 Converter to separate the turn and brake signal outputs.

The assembled harness was a plug and play solution that gave me outputs for Brake, Left Turn, Right Turn, and Ground that I could use for my chase light. This seemed to be the easiest and quickest way to accomplish this.

Below Ive shared a snap of the wiring setup and the assembled harness. Id like to note that the Curt 56196 2-to-3 does not have a ground ouput, so you will need to setup a Y junction on the ground wire in between the 4pin output and the Curt 56196 input. This is the sleeved wire that is overlaid upon the Curt box in the photo.

I was actually using this to install a light bar I got off eBay that has turn signal and brake lights. I had been wanting to put 12" led strips on the down tubes of my roll bar for a while but figured this would be less gaudy. Generically wanted turn signals and brakes that were high up for increased visibility.

Its been my experience that if you do some basic disassembly and RTV the snot out of these things they actually hold up pretty well.

The turn signals and brake lights are very clearly visible even during daylight. Going to remove the CHMSL light from the dark horse roll bar when I get around to it.
