Wiring and lights: common questions
Why do my trailer lights work sometimes and not other times?
At Flatlander Trailer Sales, intermittent trailer lights most often trace back to a bad ground, a corroded plug, or a wire that is chafed where it moves or rubs. Our Franklin shop tests the circuits with a vehicle connected, finds the fault, and repairs or replaces the damaged wiring.
Describe the problem on the service request form on this page, or call (217) 673-0773.
Where can I convert my trailer lights to LED near Franklin, IL?
Flatlander Trailer Sales replaces trailer lights, lenses and connectors at our Franklin shop and can talk through LED options for the trailer you have. We look at your trailer first, tell you what we find before we do the work, and test the lights with a vehicle connected when we are done.
Ask about LED lights on the form on this page, or call or text (217) 673-0773.
How do I tell if a trailer light problem is on the trailer or the truck side?
Flatlander Trailer Sales answers that by testing with a vehicle connected, so we can see whether the problem is on the trailer or the tow vehicle side. Our Franklin shop also checks the ground connections, the brake circuit and the plug, since a corroded or broken plug is a common culprit.
