[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1517572, member: 24583"] Been down this road so many times. As already stated over and over it’s usually the ground. A lot of trailers ground through the ball. But it should ground without being hooked up to the truck if everything is wired correctly. If done right each light should be grounded individually to the trailer frame. FWIW I had an issue awhile back. Trailer lights and brakes would work flawlessly for weeks on end. Then they would start flickering. Then work flawlessly. It’s hard to pinpoint a problem when it’s working. Finally concluded it was where the wiring harness on the truck connected to the plug on the truck. Took it apart and tinkered and tinkered. There was a rubber seal in between the two. I removed the seal, reconnected the two, and then put half a roll of black tape around the two ends. No more problems. I guess the rubber seal, even though it was factory installed, was keeping the two ends from making a constant good connection. [/QUOTE]
