Curt,
Are you now not going to use the light bar? If not, I can send you my hand
drawings from when I hooked up our '96 Jeep Cherokee.

Curt,
Yes there is an adapter (called a converter) for connecting a
three wire trailer to the 4 wire Jeep. The converter uses some kind
of logic to combine the brake and turn signals to use a single light
on each side, but in this circumstance I am going the other way.
There is no simple logic that can seperate the signal. I will need to
get the individual signals for turn and brake at the source. The
brake signal is straight forward, but the turn signal may not be as
easy. Perhaps I am complicating things too much and should just hang
a couple of magnetic lights on the bumper and call it a day.
