After submerging submersible lights on trailer yesterday, they are acting funny
Left signal ( drivers side) works good, break lights work good, right signal turns both ( left and right) signals on and only one light ( left) turns on when I turn lights on
Do I need to re wire everything or just change lights ?
And which ones are good ones?
Thanks
Do you have the crappy 4 way flat connector for your trailer wiring?
I've found those are terrible for corroding in the tail light terminal of the truck side over the winter. The salt eats them since it's energized whenever the truck lights are on. Some dielectric grease helps a bit. (Preventive not a fix)
Like Dutchpirate said a poor ground is at least one of your issues. (The signal light)
If you unplug your lights when launching you don't need submersible lights.

He means a test light which is used to check powers and grounds in a circuit. It has a bulb in it with a probe on one end and an alligator clip on the other. Put the clip on a ground and check for power or put the clip on a power and check grounds.
A properly wired 4 way is like this.
White- ground
Yellow- left
Green-right
Brown-tails

I thought it was
White -power Green - ground. I wired my neighbors trailer yesterday and hooked it up that way. I did just match colours, and put in a new ground wire screw, everything works perfectly now.

An easy way to remember the left and right is. Yellow has an L in it and Green has the R. The white terminal is bare coming off the truck so you don't want power on that one.
You can wire it however you want as long as it works but you can run into trouble towing different trailers.
