| Yep, it's probably the wiring. 2 years ago, I had the same thing. Went to a trailer shop and bought a new set of wires and rewired everything. I wrapped all the new wires with flex tube. Trailers are "butt-welded" which leaves sharp edges inside the trailer that are murder on wires. Using the flextube will hopefully protect the wires from future damage.
As long as I was running new wires, I also soldered plugs on all the light fixtures. That way, the next time that someone turns too short and knocks a light off my trailer, I can reach into the "spares" case and plug in a new fixture and away I go.
I bought the plugs at a hardware store. I soldered one end on the fixture and the other onto the wires in the trailer. All my lights are now "plug and play" modular. I added plugs to all the lights, back lights and running lights.
Oh yeah, at the same time that I did that, I also bought LEDs to replace all the bulbs in the trailer. It was ALOT cheaper than buying LED fixtures and the LED's have a 5 year warranty. Check out: www.superbightleds.com
Be sure to drill new ground holes for your grounding wires. After we were all done, my lights were noticebly brighter, especially the running lights.
I have lost 2 lights in parking lot incidents. One marker light and one tail light. Since rewiring and carrying spares, I have not had a problem. Go figure, eh.
We screwed around a bit, but it took about 1-2 hours. I suspect that a person could do it in less than an hour, but what fun would that be?????
