Grounding Trailer Lights. Normally, each light on a trailer has a ground lead that's attached to the trailer frame. These are brighter then my old ones, and My trailer is wired so that all lights ground to the frame and there is only one lead wire to the light.
But on the trailer side, nobody says you have to use the frame- use wires instead of the. Replaced the light clearance lights on my horse trailer. Someone mentioned that some trailers are ground through the hitch and ball and if there is rust in the hitch(coupler) this may prevent the connection.
If the trailer lights work on your buddy's truck, then the trailer lights work - period.
Trailer lights enhance the level of safety when towing any vehicle.
Is there anything wrong with running an actual ground wire to the trailer lights? The lights on the trailer go in and out when hooked up to my truck. I am having continuous problems with my lights grounding properly to my trailer and continue to see a dramatic voltage drop.
