Trailer wiring ???

OK guys----These were the problem(s) I have found so far & the corrections I made

1---ground wire anchor/crimp connector on trailer rotted/rusted/bad connection----corrected also made a plug in connector directly to the truck frame from trailer frame

2---Pinched wire harness at rear between fold down trailer door and box--rerouted/rewired from box to door

3---Bad/poor crimp connectors in taillight harness inside of ramp door( had to remove flooring on ramp door)---rewired & replaced both taillight assemblies

4---pigtail connecter going from trailer to receptacle on truck wired incorrectly( wires were in the wrong position)-----put them in the correct position on the pigtail

Gonna take it for a drive see if all works as it should--see if anything craps out and hopefully everything works as it should

I wanna thank everybody that responded and offered their suggestions---I am/was at my wits end trying to figure this out---Did not think that there would be so many problems musta spent 8-10 hours trying to fix this !!!!! But now that it all works so I'm gonna sell this trailer to some sucka!!!!!! No really I stole this for next to nothing ( I see why the guy sold it so cheap) Thanx again Comp 387
