yes i have a meter and have been testing it.
Ok, so you have tested some of the trailer's light circuits and have found no continuity from the wires at the tongue to the fixtures? If that is the case, I would abandon the idea of using the existing wiring and pull new wires to the back of the trailer. I have restored a couple of vintage trailer wiring systems and what I've found is that they are poorly laid out and there are terrible connection issues. The last one I did (the Cowboy/Hilton in my signature line), I pulled new wire into the ceiling for marker lights and also put wire in a conduit below the floor for brake, signal, and tail lights.
Here are
charts for conventional trailer pinouts. You will also need to establish a ground that references vehicle ground through the connection to the vehicle (a single wire well connected to trailer frame).
Good luck and if you have any further questions, fire away.
