I had a tire blow out on my trailer and it took out my wiring and trailer light. This is wired more complicated than any diagrams I can find.
On the Right side of trailer, (boat driver side-truck passenger side), there is a wire that is white with a green stripe. What is this wire for?
Basically, I have 3 wires from the front, (Brown, Green and this white-green striped wire), and my new light has two wires Green and Brown.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
Maybe a ground wire? Check other lights and see if they have an extra wire for ground.
I know the lights are grounded when mounted but almost all light problems come down to a bad ground. I have been thinking of running a wire to ground all my lights.
I would call them if there is any question as to what the wire is for.

I think the brown is the running lights , the Green wire is the Stop / Turn Signal lights, and the white-green might be the back-up lights. On mine instead of a white-green wire mine is blue for the back-up lights. All of my ground wires are solid white, which I have a ground at every light.
Check where the wires go into the plug on the trailer the white/green could be a "running" ground going to each light on that side of the trailer. If it is there should be a white/ yellow wire going into the plug (on the same pin on the plug) for the ground on the other side of the trailer. This is only a guess. Good luck
