    Trailer rewiring

    I have been having some trouble with my trailer lights flickering and I was thinking about just rewiring my whole trailer. The trailer is about 16 years old and I figured that the wiring is just shot. Is this a hard job to do and does anyone know where I could get like a diagram to refference?
    Thanks

    It is fairly simple, any instructions you would need is usually in the kit... And at this point spend the couple extra $$ and get a LED light kit...

    I had a buddy help me, for pulling wire and things.. Took us about 2 hrs to remove all the old and remount the new ones...

    get yourself an electrician's fish tape. HUGE help in running wires through the rails.

    I agree with Calfish. It sounds like a bad ground. If the insulation on the wiring is dry and cracking then replace. You can also use a tape measure to pull wire instead of a fish tape if you wanna save some $$$$$$.

    Or we just taped the new wires to the old ones and pulled them through it was alot easier than I expected.
