    trailer lights

    Im having trouble with the lights on my boat trailer. Breaks and blinkers work but the running lights just stopped working. I checked the brown wire and replaced the plug. Im new to boating so any help will be grateful.

    Most all troulbe is a ground issue. Never depend on grounding through the ball and grind off a spot on the trailer and the tow veciche to make a good ground.

    Could be a ground issue on ur truck or a wiring issue with ur truck harness and its connections to the tail lights.

    Any splice with a crimp on connector only lasts so long exposed to elements,the kind with shrink wrap last a little longer. Once a wire is cut and spliced under a auto it will fail eventionally. Cut wires twisted with black tape is good for 30 miles or 30 minutes whichever comes first.
