Sounds like bad grounds to me. Bad grounds can cause very strange things to
happen...
Do you have a dedicated wire for the ground in the wiring connection between
the trailer and truck/car? Many wiring harnesses do not have a ground wire as
part of the harness. Many people try to use the hitch/ball as the ground path,
and my experience is that it is never a good idea. Additionally, ensure that
the lights
are each well grounded to the metal frame of the trailer - I know of one person
that
had difficulty until he figured out that the wood sides that the lights were
attached to
did not carry the ground well. 8-)
