Laydog Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey guys, I have a 2007 Triton 186. When I bought it I had a new trunk and everything was fine. Then I got a 1997 F150 and the running lights stopped working on the trailer. Brake lights and turn signals work fine, but the Triton lights and yellow lights on the side don't work. I had the truck checked and everything was fine. While the boat was in for it's yearly maintenance they checked the trailer and everything was fine. So I bought a new 7 round to 5 flat converter and now none of the lights work. I know the problem is with the converter, but I don't have a clue where to look. Do you guys have any thoughts? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 That sounds like a ground or earth connection problem. There is a chance that the F150 part has never been used and the socket connections are corroded, causing some of the lights to work and not others. But when they all go out, it is usually an earth problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think Vodkaman has the right idea on this, get an ohm meter and make sure you are actually getting a switched 12 volt source. "but the Triton (what??) lights and yellow lights on the side don't work" The side marker lights have a tendency to corrode. I got tired of trailer light problems and replaced the whole harness with LEDs. No more burnt out blubs to play with, more time for fishing.
