[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 361451, member: 432"] I agree with the ground being soldered to the ground on the wiring harness. Just because your ground wire is bolted to the frame does not mean it is grounded. If it is bolted to the frame you have to make sure you have a good clean, paint free, rust free area to bolt it to and that the bolt is tight. Over time the bolts seem to work loose. If you have a break-back/tilt trailer that is one more problem area to deal with on ground to the trailer. Then you have the front of the trailer to deal with. The hitch makes an awful ground conductor. You would be surprised to learn how many are grounded through the hitch. [/QUOTE]
