as i mentioned in my last posting, when i got the car 58-TR3A it had no front 
marker/indicator lights.
when running wires i found a connector on the front passenger side that had 2 
wires going into the bottom of a 4 way connector, looked like it needed at 
least one more wire to keep company. so i stuck my light stick into it and yes 
it flashed with the passenger side so i figured that must be the place. both 
wires coming in are green with a brown stripe.
now what i have just noticed is when i turn the left turn signal on the right 
flashes also. and having just run down into the garage i find that the left 
side also does the same. it flashes no matter which way one is indicating from 
the control head. it too is green with a brown stripe. so it would appear that 
green with a brown stripe is some form of common wire. but maybe not see 2nd 
para below.
The only other candidate on the passenger side is a connector with just one 
wire coming into one side and nothing coming out of the other side. That wire 
is green with a red stripe.

also i am now experiencing a short in the control head as i cant stop the 
flasher unit from ticking away.
maybe IM shorting to both sides? but i still am not getting power to the back 
driver side.
what a mess
thanks again
