[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 486891, member: 24227"] I don't know what the problem is but I would use a volt meter to check every wire coming out of the truck's trailer connector. Check the voltage to ground with the various lights on and off (tail, blinker, etc.). At least that eliminates (or proves) the truck as the problem. All of the problems I have had with trailer brakes have been ground issues. I now just run a ground wire all the way to the tail lights and don't use the trailer frame as the ground. [/QUOTE]
