Trailer Lights

[RayChamp]

Need some help with my trailer tail lights:

My left tail light: The break light doesn't work, the turn signal works but also no light when I turn my headlights on.

My right tail light: The break light doesn't work, the light does come on when I turn my headlight on but the turn signals do not work.

Thanks,

Ray Champ

Could be wiring wrong on the trailer harness on the vehicle or wiring problems on the trailer itself. To check the wiring on the vehicle side pick up a test plug from an automotive store. This will plug into the vehicle plug and allow you to see individual leds light for the various lights to verify that it is installed right. On the trailer side here is a link that explains how the wiring should be. It's not too dificult to follow so you shouldn't have much problems finding the problems. Insure that all the connections are clean and good connections. No twisted wire with tape.

Use a wiring light to see if juice is going to the lights.

Make sure your grounds are nice and clean on your trailer connections where they are attached to the frame. Just a thought!
