Published 08/01/2023
Question:
Does each tail light have to be grounded to the frame separately if the white wire is already grounded at the front of the trailer? My left trailer light running light is the only light that doesnt work.

Each light will need to be grounded for it to function. That will mean that it needs to be either connected to the frame directly if it grounds through the mounting hardware or using a wire that runs to the frame if not.
