Do the brake lights work? The brake and turn signal should be on the same wire.

Confused... trailer lights work, doesn't that mean good ground or am I missing something?:confused:

Re: trailer problems

its grounded, but not a good enough ground for everything to work. get a good, solid ground wire to the trailer, dont count on the ball to ground it out.
