For starters, a quick-fix type connector shown in your photo is typically a good choice for an emergency repair, but I wouldn't use it as a permanent fix. It looks like your trailer wiring has 3 separate grounds and 3 separate running lamp…

Reliable Trailer Breakaway Kits for Safety Enthusiasts
Ensure your trailer's safety with a dependable breakaway kit. These kits are essential for preventing runaway trailers in case of hitch failure. Consider ease of installation, weather resistance, and battery maintenance when choosing the right kit for your needs.
Installation is generally straightforward, with clear instructions provided. Some kits may require additional hardware like tap-splice connectors or custom mounting brackets, especially if your trailer has unique frame dimensions. Using solder heat shrink tubing can ensure secure connections.
While many kits are durable, some may lack seals, making them susceptible to rain intrusion. Applying silicone around the battery box lid can prevent water damage. For long-term use, consider installing the kit in a sheltered area to protect it from harsh weather conditions.
A built-in battery charger and indicator are helpful for keeping the battery charged. Regularly check the charge indicator to prevent battery drain. If the indicator light stays on, it might be due to moisture; drying and sealing the unit can help.
Common issues include corrosion of battery connections and weather-related damage to the kit's exterior. Regular maintenance, such as checking connections and protecting the kit from the elements, can extend its lifespan. Consider using corrosion-resistant materials for connections.
The lifespan can vary based on exposure to weather and maintenance. Kits exposed to harsh conditions like intense sun or rain may last around 3-5 years. Protecting the kit from direct weather exposure can significantly extend its life.
