    Is the vehical running?
    If not, it could be battery although I doubt it.
    99.9% of the time it will be ground although not every time.

    No matter how 'good' the ground looks, that is usually the problem. Take it from an ole trucker.

    Yep sounds like your losing voltage due to a bad ground connection. A little sandpaper on all the grounded points should do the trick. Wouldn't hurt cleaning you battery terminals also. I've pulled trailers for over 15 years and it's a never ending battle.
