I put a T-connector on my pathfinder this past weekend and here is the issue. **Note** My buddy and I picked up the boat with his truck and the lights worked fine on his Highlander... I have taken checked my connections on the tow vehicle and traced everything to make sure the connectors are correct. (kind of hard to screw these up as they are just in-line connections to the existing plug)
With the lights on the tow vehicle off and vehicle running - my driver side trailer blinker and brake lights work
Turn tow vehicle lights on - blinker stops working and no brake light when brake is pressed
Tow vehicle lights on - passenger side trailer light red and good to go - brake light works when brake is pressed - BUT no blinker
running lights under trailer work regardless of lights being off or on. - Ground is connected to ground screw in tow vehicle and ground has good clean connection to trailer via bolt on tongue.
Sanded down male and female connections at the hitch and tongue. With conduit tester I get light on ground from both connectors.
Has to be a ground issue.....
Thoughts?
