Default wiring concern: taillights

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

got a set of aftermarket tail lights
wanted to switch a few lights around to work in different places

on the oe tail lights it goes from outside to inside
194 running light:3157 brake light: reverse and turn on top of each other

on mine it goes
194 runing light: reverse: brake: turn:

i changed it around
i added a brake light socket where the turn sig was: it works fine
but when i tried to turn the 194 running light into a turn sig it wont flash for a turn signal
it will burn for a turn signal : flash for hazards but wont blink for turn

all bulbs are working on the drivers side i have one turn out on the passenger side
my 194 running lights wires arent connected to anythingjust taped off

i know the 194 light in the 88 - 99 ck trucks flash for for a turn sig

why wont my 194 in the rear of the car flash for a turn sig

Probably because they are not properly wired into the system. I have no idea what the correct wiring would be, but chances are , the light itself will have to be grounded. Oh, the 194's can't flash because they are a one filament bulb. However, if you get them wired properly, they may flash off and on, off and on with the turn signals.
