    Trailer brake lights not working (but everything else is)

    Trailer brake lights not working (but everything else is)

    VICTORY!!! I picked up some 16 guage wire on the way home. Connected to one of the bolts that secure the light to the frame and connected the other end directly to the white ground coming from the 4 pin connector. Did this to both sides (just ran it along under the frame along side the two...

    Yes, I did that Joe (I think, I'm at work and I can't see the pic you provided until I get home). I ran a separate ground wire, wrapped around one of the bolts on each light, and attaching via a screw to the underside of the frame. I'm thinking of doing something extreme but it may resolve...

    Howdy from Northern Kentucky!

    Hello everyone! I've had my 99 XLT since 2003, but just recently found this forum as I was trying to figure out hooking up my trailer situation to my ride. I just recently acquired a 2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 motorcycle (hence the biker in my name) and the more I wrench on that, the more I want...
