Trailer Electrical Conundrum

if this thing worked fine forever and just stopped and you didn't touch that capped wire its not the issue.
Is your trailer ball rusted?
also, take the jumper cables, hook to your truck, put one on the ground and one on your left nipple, try and start the truck, let us know what happens.

Which direction does it go? To the trailer or truck? Are there any other loose wires in there?

Yellow is the left brake light..

Gonna get back into it soon. But my left brake light/Left blinker is the one that is out.
Defintely gonna start there and see if it needs to be connected to another wire.

Start with the ground. You will be chasing your tail if it is a ground issue.

@dbart At what point does this conundrum turn into a dilemma or even worse, a paradox or crisis?

When the POpo is behind you for no lights. Happened to me once on my way to G. Marker light connecter came loose and grounded to the frame. Blew the fuse on the truck. Cop let me proceed with the hazards on the truck going. Luckily it was a flatbed and only had me J&J car on it.

When I dig into it and mess it all up, it becomes a crisis!
Right now...it's just been a ton of good info!
I guess I have to do something about it!
LOL

The writing is on the wall... or at least 3 pages of a thread telling you to check ground :ROFLMAO: best to activate crisis mode and call in someone that knows ohms law or some shit 🤪

You can lead a horse to water. But you can’t make them drink.
 
Well dang, you guys ate fart smellers!! I mean smart fellers!
Checked the ground, removed, cleaned it up reconnected.
What do you know, it works. However, I do have a bulb out. But all works if I swap lamps, trailer brakes work, trailer connection good, no warnings other that left lamp out. Ordered 2, they'll be here today. I swapped it to the right to be sure and yes that lamp is now bueno.
Thanks all here for some laughs but more importantly the info and insight.
🍻
 
"Are" not Ate. Lmao can't edit for some reason????

I know, but I usually wait till about 21-25 responses before making a decision!!
Hahaha

Plus I had to actually find where the ground wire was! That was a 1 beer project itself!!
Lol
