Bruce,
Glad it worked out and for the record, the trailer is homemade-I built it. It went through the state patrol inspection, hence the vin number and all that stuff.

As far as the lights go, it very well may be your truck. If you crawl under the trailer, you'll notice the wiring was tucked up and away to eleiminate snagging and breaking of the circut. However, check the ground and your connections. if there is any rust around them sometimes sanding to bare metal and re-tightening will do the trick. that goes for any trailer. good luck.
