hooked up the boat today and the right rear blinker and brake are not working. Light is fine with truck headlights on. Changed bulb, still doesn't work. After it got darker I noticed it did work, it was just very, very dim. Whats up with that?
Ground wire got pinched pretty good in the swing away tongue. Am I on to something with that?

Good place to start. Check the ground wires going to the trl also.
If you have any of them funky wire crimps. They could be dirty also. losing voltage.
A multi meter is the best way to check voltage going to the lights, wires, etc.
A test light is the next best choice.


Sometimes the plug in connection from the trl to the tow vehicle is not good.
Causing a dim light or no lights.
