Re: Trailer Running Light Issue
Thanks, I'll take things apart Sat or Sun and look. All the lights appear to light up for braking, so perhaps a resistor lowers the voltage and light for the running lights/rear trailer lights. I hear them called different things, but these are the lights that are always on when the truck headlights are on.807Views0likes0CommentsTrailer Running Light Issue
I have a 5th wheel horse trailer with some kind of light/wiring issue and I'm hoping someone can help me debug this. On an earlier trip, we didn't have the rear running lights showing on the back of the trailer. A friendly officer gave us a warning, and we bought some LED headlamps from WalMart, duct taped them on, and got home. We discovered a blown fuse, which made sense. We replaced it, and went on another trip a month later, again, finding the rear running lights not working. Fuse blown, so replaced. We thought we had truck wiring issues, so we took to a mechanic with our other horse trailer (not camper). They didn't find any issues, and we used that trailer for a few months every week without issues. Fast forward to last week. We think the 5th wheel camper has the issue because the truck works with the other trailer. We were worried about some corrosion in the plug, so we rewired that with a new plug. Tested it out and find this: - brake lights work - both turn signals work - reverse lights work - running lights on side (top and bottom) of trailer work - trailer brakes work - rear running lights do not work. Yet it appears the entire LED panel lights up for the brake lights. I'm not sure where to go, and I'd prefer not to pay someone $$$$ to go searching around. Any ideas out there are appreciated.3KViews0likes24Comments
