I'm having alot of trouble with my boat trailer. As the parkers are on, every light is lit up. Every other light system works (indicators, brakes, etc). I was wondering if you guys could help me with finding a trailer wiring diagram for a basic 5 wire system. I can't seem to find anything on the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and quickly!! I need to travel during
easter legally!

Trailer plugs give me the ........ at one stage I had 4 trailers and 2 cars, 4 different plugs on the trailers, and the cars were different. Although us Australians are over regulated and governed I would applaud a regulation that has one std plug for trailers and cars. would help with borrowed and hired vehicles as
well.
Needless to say, I spent a day converting all of the above to the same plug when it got too much to handle. I'm now in the process of getting all of the rims and tyres on the 2 boats the same as the nissan.
Cheers Andrew

I woulld normally be agreeing with you guys about a bad earth, but the problem is that the earth wires are wired directly into each bulb in a harness type arrangement. The earth is at no point connected to the frame. The trailer is only 2 years old, and has been "maintained" by a university rowing team, so it was not the kind of thing they would have picked up on. It seems that whoever wired the trailer up in the first place has got some of the wiring wrong, so what I'm trying to find is a wiring diagram for the trailer, not for the socket. It is always fustrating i know, but has anyone totally rewired a trailer, and have a schematic diagram of the whole shebang?
