Well just for fun today i decided i would try hooking the trailer up and checking the lights again before i started rewiring. To my surprise everything was working as its suposed to it started workin after i jiggled/pushed the plug in good. Oh well. guess thats good news for me, now i don't HAVE to rewire.

I did the same thing because there was some moisture in the socket. It worked until I got ready to haul the camper back home and then I had no trailer brakes. Since I only had a 20 mile pull, I just took it easy and got it home.

After pulling the plug, I found the brake control connection screw was rusted completely off and the ground screw was badly corroded. I would go ahead and replace/rewire the plug. Just my .02.

I've had this problem off and on through the years. Water gets in and causes corrosion which makes for bad contacts. Try putting some grease in each slot. This makes for better contact.

Dielectric grease is wonderful, but use it sparingly.

I wish my wiring problem was that simple. I have replaced the plug, and the front control module to no avail. Now I think it may be the Power control module or better known as the fuse box. My right hand lights work fine but my left turn signal and brake light do not. I have tried dielectric grease. I'm at a loss!

Thanks Redz

I don't know what color wire it is but i do know its the center terminal in the plug. you could use a multimeter and probe the wires until you found which one it is.

not trying to make you sound dumb but have you checked the bulb? made sure its the right one?
