It's always something with them.
My stock trailer has got an issue going on between the parking lights and the electric brakes. When you turn on the park lights it causes the connected indicator light to go out on brake box and energizes the brakes. Turn them off and push button on brake box and the running lights come on. The brakes work as normal if the park lights are off if that helps.
First thought I must have a short in park lights but can't find anything there and it won't blow the fuse. Then I thought maybe a wire rubbing. Can't find any places any where that that's the issue and I got to say it is nicely wired all factory harnesses with heavy insulation. Now I am thinking it is a ground issue and one is back feeding the other. Is it more likely the park lights or the brakes if that is the case? Any other thoughts? Electrical issues are the worst!! Thanks for any help!
