The continuning seemingly never ending hassel with boat trailer wiring was eliminated for me when I had LED lights installed with the trailer rewired with a third white ground wire run to each light so as to not use the trailer frame for return ground. Previously for me 99% of the time all my trailer light issues resulted from faulty ground wire and the screw into the trailer frame. That upgrade was done in 2009 and I haven't had any issues since. Knocking on some wood here hoping I don't have a trailer light issue the next time out.
