This is hard to explain and I think I know the answer, but maybe someone can help.
My lights on the trailer have been working for for the past 3 years. Then on Sunday night the driving lights won't turn on, but the signal/break lights light up nice and bright. My buddy had a tester with the lil light and deems that my truck doesn't have current for the driving lights coming off of the plug.
All my truck lights work and not one bulb is burned out on the trailer.
I take it home and troubleshoot and I find that there is current coming from the driving light (brown wire) Hmm, OK I replaced all the trailer lights and wires with a new set.
After the install which I sanded down the ground so it's nice and purrdy I'm back to the same issue I had before.
The break/signal lights are nice and bright, but nothing for the driving lights.
I then test the plug again and the brown wire barley has any power. I move the connector tester point and now I have good power. I plug it into the trailer and nothing for the driving lights.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm miffed and sure hope I don't have to start messing with the wiring on the truck, but it's looking that way. I think I have a bad ground somewhere, but it's not the trailer as the ground on there has worked for years and now it's all nice and clean, plus the break lights are bright.
Can anyone throw me a bone - I'm puzzeled.
I suppose have my buddy hook it up to his truck and see what happens. It'll prolly work then I'll be pizzed that my truck wires are F'd somewhere.
There's no fuse just for driving lights - is there? I haven't looked but doesn't seem likely as my driving light on my truck work fine.
Thanks for listening to be beeotch - and hope someone has an answer.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
