It goes to show that not only are my eyes going, so is my memory.
I remember now...
All the trailer lights were working when it was connected to the Chevy
Pickup.... Because it was wired correctly at that time, Before my
brother-in-law dropped off the trailer at my house when I wasn't home and
disconnected the hitch but didn't unplug the connector and just drove off.
I had to call him to get the connector back, rewire things all over again and
that is when I miss-wired the white ground, tested the lights, found there
was a problem and got sidetracked with other things and forgot about it
until I needed the trailer again.
The trailer has sat since April so I completely forgot about this until it
came time to get the trailer inspected and back on the road.
