    GROUND problem. Pull the ground bolts off the vehicle and trailer and clean down to the frame of both and reattach and you should be good.

    Check the screw connecting the white wire to the trailer tongue. You need bare metal to bare metal.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​
