Check ground issue FIRST.

Most 4- wire plugs use the ball for ground. This is not the best way.

I', assuming you hava ground wire" coming out of the plug on the trailer. On a flat, 4-dire plug it will be white -- not sure aboiut the newer 7 oin lugs.

Take that ground wire that's coming out of the trailer plug, add a terminal, and use a bolt or sheet metal screw to attach it to the trailer frame. It's OK to add wire to this wire so you bacan reach a good spot to tap in.

THEN check to make sure none of the trailer wires have lost their insulation and are rubbing against the trailer frame. If they are making contact, splice in a new section of wire, or add electrical tape t the bare spots.

These two steps will solve 95.78% of trailer light problems.
