Wayne just double checked the wiring on the PLUG---the colored wires are where they are supposed to be---the center wire position on the trailer plug has no wire attached to it --never did days its for backup lites-no wire in the harness is available to attach to it---I do not understand how you run a ground wire from the truck to the trailer when I think going thru the hitch ball would work but if that is not the case how do you ground the trailer to the truck or the trailer door to the trailer frame???( hinges on the trailer door metal on metal not a good enough ground???)---I'm game talk to me this is exasperating spent all day Sun futzing with this bout ready to completely rewire the frigging trailer get it over with BUT I dont wanna do that hafta pull the ceiling down etc.--- Keep those ideas coming ---Comp 387
