Working w/o toad - not working w/toad = problem in toad, or cable to toad. I'd make sure I was passing a solid ground from toad to rv. By make sure, I mean add a ground wire, don't depend on passing ground thru the towbar.
Also, you may want to pull the cable connectors apart to check for loose wires inside. The blue coiled cables have small set screws holding each wire in place, and if they become loose all kinds of strange problems happen, but only when you tow.
It's been a long time coming, but the problem seems to be fixed. Ended up removing and replacing both of the system's tail lites on the ranger.
The techs spent 7 1/2 hours on this mess. Fortunately because they said "it's only a four wire complete system" I was not charges for the whole time.
