Check your ground. Even if you just take a set of battery jumper cables
from the truck to the trailer to see if your ground is good. If they work,
it is your ground.

I did that and it didn't really solve the problem. With the larger fuse in
there, it caused all kinds of funky things to happen with my trailer
lighting. when the fuse was out, or blown, the lights worked normally. I
just picked up a 92 CC V8 a couple of weeks ago, I haven't tried the
lighting kit to see if it does the same thing on that truck, but I suspect
it will.
