Success! So I got so angry the other day (my wife will verify) that I was in a downright pissy mood. In fact I got so angry that I ripped out all of the wiring and started over, with the same new wires. Matched everything up, and got it all in just before a massive thunder storm hit. Today I...

Well, stupid me, (by the way I went to law school and this is one of the most technical things I have done) I bought a wiring kit from autozone and instead of just going to Ace to buy an extra length of brown wire, I used the white wire that came in the 4 wire roll as my right signal running...

Ok, so I used terminal connectors instead of wrapping the wire around the light housing like so: This time I put the trailer on the ball, connected the wires and turned on the headlights and signals. This time the correct poles lit up on my tester on the car end, but on the trailer pigtail...

OK, so if I used the white wire that came in the wire roll as a turn signal connection, it won't work? I need to use the white only to ground and that's it?

Ok so here is where I am at after my work today: I know this is a repost but I was hoping to try and resolve the issue this weekend. I pulled the old wires and ran new wires from the pigtail back, wired a new pigtail and connected the new wires to the lights. I connected the front ground to the...

Ok so here is where I am at after my work today: I pulled the old wires and ran new wires from the pigtail back, wired a new pigtail and connected the new wires to the lights. I connected the front ground to the tongue and tried to connect a ground to the back of the lights. So far I still get...

This might be obvious but if the lights do not have a ground wire coming out of them how do I run a ground wire to them?

I put a new harness on today, so I am almost sure it is a grounding issue. I think I will have to pick up some self tapping galvanized screws tomorrow and re ground everything to see if that works.

I am having a ground issue, I think. I was wondering if any of you could help. I finished the harness and converter on my car this morning (instead of studying for my employment law final) and using a circuit tester all of the poles lit up. When I hooked it up to the trailer I am not getting...

You guys are awesome! Thanks. Gonna go look tomorrow morning and hopefully bring it home, now just gotta figure out what I am going to tow it with. I have a 2000 Avalon with 2000lb capacity which should work fine here in flat city.

So I am brand new to the site though I have wandered on here a few times over the last few months. I have been trying to find, without luck, a sticky thread somewhere for people like me: A new to aluminum boats person looking for a good used boat but not knowing how to shop for one. First off...
