Harold fix your lights !

I was driving in from another good Dardanelle trip after stopping for lunch. Pulled out and noticed a boat with Crappie.com stickers in front of me. It had no brake lights on the trailer and the boat hid the truck. It was none other than Harold. :biggrin

Harold I think ole NIMROD just busted you out, how funny.

:Rofl Harold it called maintenance, I have one of the tricky lights too

Trailer lights are impossible. I used to have a Toyota, and they had some alien wiring scheme that made it impossible to do a trailer right.

Then I had one that never worked. Turned out that the ground wire was connected to a piece of metal that was painted. That's a no no. Has to be bare metal.

Sometimes, they just stop working. They are liable to do anything. Go out at bad times. Work when you think they are broken. Blink off and on. Heck, sometimes the yellow lights will burn red, and vice versa. They make no sense to me whatsoever.

They are very similar to women.

No, it's call not having the right pplug on the light wires. I will fix them tommor.

Mine have this terrible habit of only working when they are plugged in. Very annoying.

Yep, I've worn a plug out a time or three by dragging it down the road. I hate them funky light connections where you hook 5 wires up to 4 and need a stupid adapter. I had one of those one time and ended up buying another vehicle because of it.

with you why does that not surprise me?

Harold, are we kin?

I can't tell you the times that I've gotten to my destination to find I never plugged 'em in.

But if I plug 'em in and they don't work, I call for help. Trailer light setups are beyond my pay grade.

They need to make a place on the bumper to hold the adaptors when not in use. Mine will not stay on the bumper and I am on my third one.

Use a short wire on truck end , hold up with a zip tie ''new fangled bale'n wire''. The long end should be on the trailer, but still need to hook it up before hitting the road.:twocents
