    Ours is gas.. for some reason it is a 4 to 4 plug but there are 5 wires.. 2 brown,1 yellow,green,white. I got the right side to work but not the left I think it is something to do with the extra brown wire.. I put both to gather. Then only one switched each one no luck. Each brown comes from trailer. Yellow and brown and green and brown.. that is why I thought it was for each brown to gather. Can I eliminate the browns.if white is ground. What is hot.. there is a ground on trailer up by the ball..

    We have a 98 (gas) Bounder, and had this problem the first time we towed. It WAS the ground to the light wiring.

    Probably wired backwards and have positive grounded. May have a breaker under hood instead of a fuse.
