Trailer Wiring
I just had to redo the wiring on the trailer and for some reason I am missing taillights, I have brake and both turn signals but no taillights. I ran new wires straight from the connector directly to the taillights and skipping all the side markers now just to get the basic necessities. Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Brown wire on a flat 4 plug is the tail/running lights. Green is right turn/stop. Yellow is left turn/stop. White is ground. Check your car/truck wiring also. Check for proper grounds. It's the most common failure. Are you using LEDS or regular bulbs? Proper polarity are vital in leds.

Just regular bulbs. There is a white ground wire bolted to the trailer up close to the hitch, same place as its always been since I bought the boat, and there are also a ground on each taillight on the back of the trailer again same place.
