[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1020571, member: 70985"] I would unwrap/untape the trailer wiring near the pigtail that plugs into the truck. Someone may have connected the wires wrong. Had a problem like that with one of my trailers when I bought it. As I recall, there should be a yellow wire on each side for taillights, a brown wire on one side, and a green wire on the other for turn signals. White is ground. If the ground wire is connected wrong, it will cause all kinds of weird things. You can do a search on the internet for wiring a trailer. You're far better off getting the trailer wired correctly now than taking a shortcut to get it to work. I've done it both ways. [/QUOTE]
