[QUOTE="AKFF, post: 356331, member: 14184"] Had similar trouble with mine not long ago & took hours to figure out it was a grounding issue. I had 12.4v at the pigtail, but only 11.3v (rough estimate by recollection) getting through to the lights. This was enough to power the dimmer running lights, but not the bright brakes or flashers. My tilt trailer pins are rusty & not conducting 100%. I ended up rewiring with four conductor using a ground wire throughout instead of depending on the trailer frame to conduct. I work on low-voltage a considerable amount for work, so had the wire & tools handy. [/QUOTE]
