Trailer Light Wiring fails every time I go to use it-the thin old brittle wires makes my blood boil!

    With all the great info and comments from everyone here you should have enough info to get a good start on fixing it?

    I think eatonpcat is saying he wants to buy a new trailer so he doesn't have to fix the lights on his current trailer. New trailers come with working lights.:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::smoke::smoke::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::whistle::whistle:

    Ok
    Time to fix the weakest link! It is not if that splice connector will fail, it is when it will fail!!
    Since it is a three way wire connection, I pulled out the new Weller and fresh rosin core and made a good physical wire connection! After a good heating then wrapped with the Ham Radio outlet’s best Coax Seal! See pics
