Thanks Al. Yes, they seem to function fine now (except before all this posting I had indeed cut the red and brown wires that were spliced and ran off to the right tail light, so that's disconnected now. The turn signal device diagram shows a solid line coming from both the brown and orange wires (on the turn signal) to run back to the left tail/brake light. This device also has a pull-stop lever on it which functions as a hazard light for the brakes, hence why (I suppose) it has 2 diff't colored wires going to the light?. So, I'm guessing now I simply connect the brown wire on the signal to same on left light, and connect the orange one to the red. I know I need to "complete the circuit" so I'm unclear on how to do that as far as the right light is concerned. Apparently, the directions have the red lead wire from the signal to run thru battery and down to right signal light.
