Ya generally it is a ground connection when things go screwwy.
Sorry fot the late post. Put some Ox-Gard on the ground spots and connectors this will prevent future problems. :roll:

Why dont the make trailers with submersible lights? I have had three different ones and all were no submersible. I mean they are going to get wet.
