Grille turn signal wiring

hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me. I want to ditch my original turn signals below the bumper and wire up the ones in the grille. Unfortunately the ones in the grille have a different pig tail. Anyone know if I can simply swap pig tails with the original ones? I tried one of the splice things but it was drawing too much power and neither one would work. Any advise would help. Thanks

 

did you have them grounded?

 

I'm not sure if I need too. I just used one of those plastic wire splices that splices both wires together without cutting them in half. I might just end up taking it to an auto electric shop:/

 

The wiring diagram can be found here: http://1bad6t.com/Maverick/repair/pdf/70maverickwiring.pdf

 

those also could be your problem...

 

I think he needs the wiring for a later (74-77) w/grille lights.

 

I changed my lower ones to fog lights and the grille ones for park/turn...

 

Good point, Frank.

That's exactly what I want to do!

 

Yep, that's the one. Thanks guys!

 

Frank, can you give me any suggestions on what bulbs to use to turn the original turn signals into fog lights? Also did you just wire it up separately with a toggle switch or something? Thanks

 

Success gentleman! Thanks for all the help! I ended up buying the correct pig tails from Autozone and the rest was a piece of cake! The wiring was basically the same

 

Dang! I spoke too soon. The turn signals now work but when I turn the lights on the turn signal indicator lights on the dash stay on. Also they won't work with the lights on and the parking lights don't work:/

 

I think some years the parking lights are off when the lights are on...

 

I put a clear 1157 bulb in the bumper lights, then they were wired to the high/low beam headlights. the fog lights are on bright when the low beams are on and on low when the highs are on.
