I have an open trailer for the race car, old utility trailer with aluminum ramps. Rewired new rear lamps last year, and with a four pole connector, everything worked just fine.
This year, I added the wheel well clearance lights (trailer was born before they were required) and the three light bar on the back end. Hooked all the wires I put in last year to a terminal box. And now when I apply voltage to any connector in the box, I get nothing.
Here is my plan. Since I have plenty of new wire, I would start from the terminal box and run the wires from the hitch to the rear - one pair for each side, brown/yellow and brown/green. At each pint where I need to splice in a lamp (such as the yellow side marker light, combination yellow/red clearance marker, red three lamp bar...) I would cut the insulation on the long brown wire, splice without cutting the long wire, and insulate - testing for continuity and power at each splice before insulating. With this plan, I will be testing at each change before going on to the next.
Anyone see anything wrong with this plan, or can add any helpful hints?
Thanks.
