    Trailer Question

    I replaced my 2015 FX20 trailer this August with brand new one built by Skeeter. Now I have a lighting issue. With the the trailer hooked to the truck and the truck turned off, all of my trailer lights are on ever so slightly. When I start the truck and turn lights on, everything seems to work as normal. Has anyone experienced this? Obviously there is a power/ground cross some where. Thanks for any tips to troubleshooting it!

    Probably a truck problem. What truck do you have?
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,

    Yeap! Your getting power to your plug when the lights are off. Truck plug issue.

    It's an 06 Tundra. I don't recall having the problem with the other trailer, but I will see if a buddy will let me use his truck. Thanks.

    Test light will make short work of your problem. You don’t need another truck! Less of course you want too.

    Don't leave it plugged in at the ramp. It sounds kind of impossible. Maybe, just maybe there is corrosion inside the 7 pin plug or receptacle.

    What I have seen in the past is when things are acting strange its always a ground issue in the wiring!
