They used about 3 colors of wire on our trailer. We replaced all the clamp wire connectors with butt joint connectors that had shrink wrap ends with glue in the shrink wrap of the connectors. We also replaced some of the wires. For some reason they ran a wire from the driver side front, top light all the way to the driver side rear light at the top. We removed this 16 ft. of wire and from the rear back light, ran a 10 inch wire to this same light. Hope you figure a way to fix without messing up too much of your trim.

It would help a lot if I knew which wire I need to be checking. In the process of trimming out the interior I have disrupted a wire somewhere and my taillights and clearance lights are not working. Thank you.
