Trailer disconnected message on F150
My TV is a 2015 F150. The issue I am having is while towing the recently acquired used TT (2018 Coleman 215BH) I am constantly getting dash message showing "Trailer Disconnected" along with Trailer gain 0 messages. Mostly when I'm slowing or accelerating, not once I get up to cruising speed.
If you are familiar with the F150 forums you will know that this is a common issue, but most people over there say it's usually due to an issue with the trailer grounding or brakes.
So here comes the dumb question.. I got to looking at the tongue of my trailer and noticed two wires just hanging by the battery which are not connected to anything, one of which is white and appears to be a ground wire. The other one is blue, and is coming out the bottom of the front of the trailer with a fuse hooked to it.
As you can see, the negative from the battery is grounded to the frame on the right side of the photo. Am I correct in assuming this hanging white wire here is supposed to be connected to the frame and is probably the reason my truck keeps giving me these messages? TIA
