Icon5 Separate Rear blinkers form Brake lights.

I'm driving a 1988 Ranger no idea sub trim. I have the twin tank version, anywho. the Brakes and turn signals are on the same system as in if your pressing the brake the light turns off and on, no brakes applied it is on off.
What I want to do is completely disconnect the blinkers from the brake system and have them on different wiring system so I can put on stand alone blinkers and not have the blinky brakes.
what I've gathered with the current wires system. Also wiring diagrams I have no idea how to read, or I may have fixed/changed this problem already.
Brown = drive lights.
Green w/red = stop/blink "R" side <--- issue I want to change.
Black /w white = back up
Black = ground
Orange /w green = stop blink "L" side <--- issue I want to change.
Thoughts?

Welcome to the forum

They make a module to do that for trailer light wiring

Google: trailer 2 to 3 wire

There is also the reverse, 3 to 2 wire so make sure you get the one you need

2 to 3 wire will have 2 wires in(plus a ground on some), which you will connect your Green w/red and Orange /w green wires to
Then it will have 3 wires out, a separate Brake wire and a separate turn for each side

These are made to be mounted at the rear and under vehicles for trailer light wiring, so weather proof housings

Hey! Thanks! This is great, I believe this will do the job perfect, I'm kinda an id10t when it come to electronics but I'm sure it comes with pretty pictures and a coloring book so I should be able to figure it out. I'll up date after I get it all done.
Also this is the link to the device on amazon if anyone ells comes across this thread.
