Do you have a question about this Trailer Lights?
- Brake Lights Turn Off when I Step On the Brakes After Wiring New Trailer Lights
- Yes, it seems like you have a ground problem on the trailer. I would start by checking the ground wire at the trailer coupler and making sure it is connected to a solid clean paint free spot on the coupler of frame. Then I would check the tail light assemblies.
Tail lights are usually grounded through their connection to the trailer frame. If you have a plastic license plate bracket on the left side this could be the culprit. You should also check the brackets that hold the lights. If they a

- It is possible that the resistors you are using are not the exact right type for this application. We do have resistor-kits for this exact purpose. They are Putco Resistor Kits part # P230004C for a ceramic housed resistor or part # P230004A that uses an aluminum heat sink. These resistors should solve your problems.

- Wiring Single Wire Clearance Lights on an Enclosed Trailer
- You will need to use a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, to test the wires exiting the trailer to figure out the wiring configuration.
You will probably find that you have tail light power on one of the green wires and no power on any of the other wires. In this case you would wire the two green wires to the power wire coming from the clearance light. You would then need to wire the two white wires coming from the trailer to the ground for the clearance light. Wiring this way allows the

- Running Light Fuse Blowing with Trailer Connecter to 2003 GMC Sierra and Tail Light Kit # TLK01
- It sounds like there is a short that is causing an overload situation that is in turn causing the fuse to blow. The problem could be in a number of places, but I would start by checking the grounds on the trailer and on the truck. The ground for the trailer side plug should be attached to a clean, corrosion and paint free bare metal surface on the trailer frame. The lights ground through the mounting studs. They, too should be free of corrosion, dirt, and attached to a bare metal surface.

- How Is a Trailer Grounded to a Trailer Hitch on a Towing Vehicle
- The trailer itself will have a ground wire from the trailer connector that needs to be attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface on the trailer frame. The lights like in Incandescent Trailer Tail Light Kit, # TLK01, will ground through the mounting studs. The truck side trailer connector will also be grounded to the vehicle frame. The trailer itself will ground through the coupler and trailer ball.

- How to Ground a Mounting Stud Tail Light Mounted to Wood and How to Wire a Third Brake Light
- There is a way to ground the lights from the Incandescent Trailer Tail Light Kit, part # TLK01, if you were not going to mount them to a metal surface.
You would want to use a ring terminal connector on the post that carries the ground circuit and then run a wire from there to a good, clean ground and the lights should operate. Once this is done it would not matter what surface you mounted these lights to.
You could wire your 6 inch oval LED brake light to a new 4-way flat harness. To get

- Why are Both of My Blinkers Blinking on My Trailer When Either Blinker is On
- It sounds like there is a short between the yellow (left turn) and green (right turn) wires on the trailer light circuit that is causing both blinkers to blink when either blinker is being used.
I would check the wiring and look for any exposed wire or obvious shorts on the trailer wiring that may be causing this problem. If you still can not find the problem I would use Circuit Tester, part # 3808, and first test the 4-way that is on your vehicle for intermittent voltage on the left turn sig

- Lights On Boat Trailer Do Not Come On When Lights On Ford F-150 Are Turned On
- I would begin by checking the grounds on your trailer. You will want to make sure each light is grounded to a clean metal surface. The item you selected, Custer Trailer Light, part # TLK01, includes a plastic license plate bracket. Sometimes this can cause a bad ground connection for the tail lights. I would also check to make sure the vehicle side connector is grounded and to make sure the auxiliary fuse on your vehicle is not blown.
There is also the possibility that the vehicle wiring conn

- Trailer Marker Lights Do Not Illuminate on the Fender Of Hallmark Trailer
- I would begin by making sure each marker light has a good ground connection to a clean metal surface. Each light should be grounded to a rust-free, metal surface. If the ground is achieved through the metal base of the light, there may be corrosion or rust that has formed which is causing a bad ground.
I would also recommend checking the power supply to the lights, you can do so with a circuit tester like part # 3808. You will want to inspect the wiring making sure there is not a short or exp

- Driver Side LED Trailer Side Marker Light Does Not Light Up
- It looks like you have the Sealed, Miro Flex, Mini Thin Line LED, # AL191AB. What I think is happening is that there is a bad ground connection. The bracket you are using, # A91BB, has a ground transfer that moves the ground from the terminal in the back to the mounting hole.
Check to make sure that the bracket is secured to a bare metal surface that is free of dirt and corrosion. You may try grounding the terminal using a wire instead of through the mounting hardware to get a better connecti

- Submersible Trailer Tail Light Kit TLK01 Does Not Need a Turn Signal Adapter
- You will not need an electronic turn signal adapter for the light kit. The wiring harness for your 1989 Nissan Pickup, part 118353, connects both the tail lights and turn signals. The wiring harness will then plug right into TLK01 installed on your trailer and power the trailer lights properly.

- Trailer Side Marker Lights Not Working
- It sounds like you do not have the side marker lights properly grounded. If the lights have a separate ground wire to attach to the trailer frame it will need to be connected to a suitable point on the trailer frame. The closer to the light the better.
If you light does not have a separate ground wire then it is grounded through the mounting holes and you will need to be sure that the light is mounted directly to the trailer frame and making a good connection.

- Troubleshooting a Malfunctioning Atwood Trailer Light Kit for Use with 2004 GMC Canyon Pickup
- Lights will do all sorts of funny things if they do not have a proper ground. Some will work, some will work intermittently and some may not work at all. If you did not have the lights mounted to the trailer, the TLK01 Kits use stud-grounded lights, then the lights did not have a true ground. If you want to test them again, run a wire from the mounting studs on the lights to a good ground on the truck, usually the frame, or the ground post on the truck connector (white wire).

- Recommendation For LED Camper and Flatbed Tail Lights for a 2010 Ford Ranger
- I would recommend the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 10 Super Diode, item # STL72RB, for both the truck bed and the trailer. To mount these lights you will need a Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, item # BK70BB, and a Rubber Grommet, item # A70GB. To wire the lights you will need either the straight Pigtail, item # A45PB, or a the right angle Pigtail, item # A47PB. I have used these lights on a car hauler and they work excellent an

- Replacing Taillights on a 1986 Bayliner 1650 Using Trailer Light Kit TLK01
- Our lighting kits are not necessarily trailer specific. If the Submersible Trailer Tail Light Kit # TLK01 fits the electrical connection on your tow vehicle (in this case the light kit has 4 flat wiring) then the lights can be mounted in the existing trailer mounts if they are the correct size.
The light kit has mounting studs, nuts included, that are 2 inches on center for mounting to a metal mounting bracket. The bracket must be attached securely to the trailer frame because the lights in t

- Troubleshooting Left Taillight Goes Out on Boat Trailer when I Step on Brake
- If you have a bad or weak ground connection this can cause the problem you are seeing. When you apply the brakes, and the headlights are on, the ground connection needs to be good because when more amperage is drawn on the system, it requires a better ground to work properly.
If you clean your ground connection points and make sure the taillights are grounded sufficiently, and the lights are still not functioning properly, you will need to check your connections and be sure you have the wire
