I have been having on again off again lighting problems with my
trailer. I bought a brand new wiring kit with the grounding for the
rear lights supposedly being handled by the metal screws and the metal
to the frame.

After you do all the checks that have been recommended, I would solder all
wire connections. Then coat them with a substance called, I believe,
"Gorilla Snot". Do a good friction taping job and most future problems will
be eliminated. The biggest problem I have had with over 50 years of boat
trailers has been the ground between the truck and the trailer and using
these pinch-on wire connectors.

The gorilla snot, I found at a local electronic supply house.
