ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates generally to power distribution systems and more particularly to a power distribution system for truck rear light assemblies.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Trucks and other motor vehicles typically have left and right tail light assemblies and a rear license plate light assembly. The tail light assemblies usually include stop lights, turning signal lights, running lights and back up lights. The several lights of these assemblies are usually connected to a power source in the front of the vehicle by a wiring harness or harnesses that have several splices to provide individual leads to the right tail light assembly, the left tail light assembly and the license plate light assembly, respectively.
These known power distribution systems have a disadvantage in that it is difficult and expensive to provide cable splices in a wiring harness.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides a power distribution system for motor vehicle rear light assemblies that eliminates any need for cable splices. The system incorporates a bussing block that can be mounted on the rear of the vehicle and that is fed by a spliceless chassis wiring harness. The bussing block in turn is connected to the left and right tail light assemblies and to the license plate light assembly by three spliceless wiring harnesses. The power distribution system may feed side marker light assemblies as an option.
