If there is one thing that stresses me out is wiring of trailer lights, I had a few bad days managed to drive off with plug in on both my work trailer and my boat, now this would not seem like a big issue but they all came out so had no idea where they went.
A few weeks went by and a couple of attemps both failures, only attempted in good frame of mind (not an everyday thing :) ).
Wife only knows to
well about me and trailer lights so when i go to do them she leaves, some of the neighbours may next time as
well GRRRRRRRRR.
A couple more weeks go by and the rubbish is building in the trailer and the storms in November did not help. The wife suggests get a diagram of the net so I did a couple of versions in fact. So figure this is the go so with a bit of enthusiasm out I go a few hours later still not working and neighbours have opted to evacuate (PUSSIES GRRRRRRRR).
Calm down after a few beers (read lots) wife says get someone to come and do it, WHAT admit defeat HELL NO male pride is at stake now and 6 bleep y as$ wires are not going to get me. I few days later in right frame of mind figure I will go out and follow the diagrams again a couple of hours later son comes out and offers to help but takes flight, not sure if it was the glazing of the eyes, ranting of a crazed person or the flight of a few screwdrivers no matter what he was gone.
I sit on the draw bar for what seemed ages and just stared at the wires, diagrams, wires, diargams (you get the idea) finally I got up strolled inside wife and son get in car go out. FUC% male pride its overrated I get on internet get local auto electrician to come around he says be there this afternoon.
He arrives pleasent
young fella I explain what I have done he says you think I should check how I had wired them up, go for it, kinda proud I had at least followed the directions (not a male thing usually do ) I figure there must be a break in the wires and say as much and show him the diagrams I used, just as he looks at what I have done, he says wires are all wrong and those diagrams are wrong, waste of thime using them ( I'm now thinking he better choose the next few works carefully).
During his VERY VERY short stay it now bucketing down with an afternoon storm hes under his rear door over the trailer hitch on the road and a few minutes later its all fixed $40.00 and hes on his way, wife looks at me and I say NOT ONE GOD DAMN word.
Wife could not help herself ...... Do you think he should do the boat trailer.
I have now realised if I break down out bush and its electrical I'm going to die.
Screw trailer wiring
