Title: Wiring for the dinghy
Post by: Art on September 29, 2012, 02:40:11 pm
When we bought a new Honda to tow, we had a local trailer outfit do the wiring for us.  Well we have had it back 4 times because the left rear tail light is dim. Both rear lights were nice and bright when we brought it home. Anyone know what the problem might be.  Thanks Art

Art,
First guess would be a bad ground somewhere. (somewhere being the key word) Make sure the ground wire that goes to the plug is clean and seated good to the frame. Check the trailer plug inside for cleanness and that 2 wires are not shorted out with just one strand. Hope this is a starting point.

Look for corrosion in the contacts or wiring connections in the dim lamp.
