teleflex says those marks are from electrolysis. I think they are from a bad plating job. They used to come with a mirror finsih, but a few years back, they started showing up with a satin finish, shorty after, I started replacing a lot of seals on them, the new rams have a more polished finish.
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 90% of trailer light problems(other than a mechanioc taking them ot with their shin)

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. Last edited by smokeonthewater; 03-15-2016 at 09:57 PM.

between the fork lift and my shins, I take out at least 10% of traielr lights. I'll give credit to this site on the trailer wiring, someone else posted the idea up here years ago

I decided against total rewire and just replaced the lights. Used shrink butt connectors & also silicone over top of that JIC. Everything working good right now. Picking up 3/8 A1 fuel line at lunch.
p.s. wife bursts into my building this morning (I work out of my building) frantically searching for her hair dryer. ROLMFAO!!!
