Thanks for the reply, I guess what I meant by "running lights" is just the tail lights on the truck. I rewired the ground using a eye connecter and used a sheetmetal screw that is also used for the trailer hitch ground and I know that is working fine. But still the cap lights are reversed when the tail lights are on and I hit the brake. There are two wires that come out of the back of the brake light on the truck, both green and one has a red stripe. I have the brake wire from the cap tapped into the green and red wire and the dome is tapped into the solid green. I guess my next option is going to tap the dome light wire into a hot wire up front in the fuse box so I can use the light with out the truck lights being on. Right now the way it is hooked up when I turn the truck lights on it trips my ABS light on the dash and it won't go out until I turn the truck off. This is driving me nuts, it should not be this difficult.:banghead:
Not quite sure what you are trying to do. You have a dome light wire and a high mounted brake light wire you are trying to tie into your tacoma wiring?
It sounds like you tied into the taillight wiring on your tacoma. The wire colors going to your taillights should be:
solid green: taillights. hot when headlights or parking lights are on only.
green/white: Brake lights.
green/black: left turn signal.
green/yellow: right turn signal.
white/black: ground.
The brake light on your camper should be tied into the green with white stripe wire.
I'm not sure the dome light should be tied in with your taillights unless you want it on whenever (or only available) when the parking lights are on. Then I guess you could use the solid green wire.
Grounding: Make sure your grounding point is truely making connection with the negative post on the battery. Make sure the cab to battery, cab to frame, engine to cab, and bed to frame grounds are all intact and repair as necessary. You can ground as many wires you want to the same point as long as all are making good contact and your grounds are all intact.
