[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 290583, member: 6937"] Are you referring to the tap connectors when you say 'crimp'? These are used to tap the brown wire for the side marker lights. It may be possible that you tapped power from the wrong wire somewhere. Also, check the connection of the white (ground) wire on your trailer's wire harness. If it's not secured to the trailer frame, this could cause flickering and other issues. The ground from the vehicle will conduct through the trailer ball and will power the lights, even with the white wire unconnected from the trailer. But, if there is dirt or grease in the coupler, you can see how this would cause intermittent power to the trailer's lights. And this is why the white wire is connected to the trailer frame, to ensure a proper continuous ground. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
