On that trailer rewire, go to wally world, buy a 16 ga. 50 ft extension cord, run it down each side os the trailer, now you have three insulated wires inside its own cover, you use one wire for turn and brake, and one for running lights, take the last wire and use it as a dedicated ground(hook it to the white wire on your harness). Poor grounds are 99.999% of trailer light problems(other than a mechanioc taking them ot with their shin)

Fixed it LOL


Great idea on the ext cord... Also I like to skip the marker lights and then wire them separately either from the tail forward or back from the tongue... That way a failed connection at a marker won't take out the tails.
