trailer lights ,thats a whole different world,could drive you to drink,lol, about 95% of the time it is a grounding problem,trailer lights are positive from the bottom and ground throught the brass sides.alot of times you can get away with just removeing the bulb and putting it back after cleaning the turminals.sometimes you have to modify it by sqeezing the sides in alittle to get a good ground.if that didnt cure the problem,now you have to start following the wires.alot of times the wires come out of the light and go to a connection ,either wire nuts,or blue crimp on connection,(these two methods are the worst for trailers)take these connections apart clean wire ends witha small wire brush and put back together.the best way to fix this probem is to solder the end and cover the connection with heat shrink tube,this with make the connection water tight.if a wire goes to the frame with a screw or bolt,loosen the it and retighten.follow the rest of the wireing checking for cracks in the insulation,most of the time you would have to cut thatr section out and replace it with ths solder joints.if all else fails replace light
