The problem: All running lights work except the right rear, the license plate light and the clearance lights at the rear.
What I've found: The green wire that supplies power to the running lights and license plate has power as far back as where a bunch of wires from under the trailer go up into the floor. I also see it coming out of the floor for a few inches and then it goes into the bottom of the back wall. Testing at a few of the sockets that are not working shows no power. I did jump the green wire to the lic. plate bulb and it worked, so it looks like the white ground wire is working.
I'm thinking that a connection inside the back wall failed but I can't find any access area to see where that might be. I've had that back wall apart when I had to replace wood that was water damaged and I think there were connections wire nutted together. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but maybe one came apart? If so, I guess I could run new wires, but that seems like a big job to connect them and them hide them.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich
