Having a small problem with a new EZ Loader trailer. The foward running light on the right fender isn't lighting. I traced the problem and have found it to be the ground wire going to that light. There are four seperate grounds (from the rear markers, tail light, rear fender, and front fender) that lead into the frame, with only one comming out at the front. Does anyone know where they join all these grounds together inside the frame rail, and how they are joined ? I could fix it just by cutting the wire, and splicing in a wire that would be grounded to the frame of the trailer, but I would rather repair the wire where the problem is, which I'm fairly sure is at the splice where it joins the other grounds that go to the plug. I tried jumping the ground connection on the light to the frame, and the light works.
Has anyone ever had the wires on an EZ Loader apart to see how and where they are joined ?

To fix your problem at the back of the trailer take off the right hand tail light. Next take off the plate that the light was attached to. Inside the boom you will find a bundle of wires. There is a main harness that everything plugs into. Check if one plug came loose. That should solve the problem. If you had the model and year I could be more specific. GOOD LUCK.

Pete,
Thanks for the help, you hit the nail on the head! Found the plug for that ground wire was defective, and wouldn't hold a good connection. Replaced it with a new connector, and while I was in there, I silicone greased all of the other ones. Everything works super.
Thanks again,
Bill
