Trailer Light Problem

[Jradtke]

Having a problem with e-z loader trailer lights. On my last trip after the trailer sat for a week, I noticed that my right turn signal on my dash was on solid, no flash. When I checked the outside lights, both the left and right signals were flashing. When using the left signal , it seems to be okay.
I have kept the trailer light connection coverd, but didn't seem to help. Must have a short somewhere. Any suggestions????

This may sound too easy, but. It sounds like your right tail light ground is bad.
Very common.
Usually the trailer paint is the culprit..Just loosen ground screw..scratch paint off with jack knife and re-tighten.
Maybe you get lucky.

Another suggestion is to look at your right turn signal relay module in the fuse panel of your vehicle. They will sometimes weld closed. You can double check by swapping out with another relay of the same type (left turn signal). Good luck.

Not sure if this is connected to your problem, but something I have found over the years is that the ball and hitch can get rusty and will affect the grounding capability for the lights.
Besides the white ground wire on the harness, some vehicles lights are grounded thru the hitch and rust will inhibit this.
A wire wheel or brush fitted on a drill will clean things up really good.
Just something else for you all to look for when you've got lighting probs.
