Trailer Lights
Had a slight problem with the trailer lights on Sunday
Woke up nice and early on Sunday morning, plugged the lights in
and went to check them nothing. Walking around the car I noticed I had no tail lights
or indicators on the car, no fishing for me today.
Later investigation the fuses had blown in the car for the tail lights/ brake lights & indicators?
Checked the plug joiner for the L E D lights and found this, some of the led lights had melted on the left side as well.
Long story short $$, going to do a complete rewire and new lights next time home. Please check your lights on your trailer
Yeah Sulo all joins including the plugs had heat shrink covering them. as you can see from second picture
a second join only had basic crimps have been cut away, and heat shrink wrap & pushed up into trailer frame
unknown to me, lights have been on the trailer since I have had it 4 years, no problem till Sunday.
All wiring will be replaced with no plugs.

Stupid plugs, I was waiting
Stupid plugs, I was waiting for a mate to back the trailer in, saw smoke for the same result, cut them off solder and heat shrink with dual wall heatshrink no worries!
