Okay, tried a few combinations and still the same issues. After a little more investigation, I have determined the problem is between the ground and the green wire. If I remove the ground from the Jeep, the light that stays on will shut off and none of the other lights will work. If I go to the right trailer light and disconnect the green wires of the harness and right trailer light, then the light goes out, but the left trailer light still works. If I touch the green wire from the harness to the brown wire of the right light, the right light will light up (It's dimmer than with wires attached normally.) If I remove the ground from the right light the light is still receiving power because it is on (extremely dim, but on). Also, with the 4 connectors connected and all my grounds in place but the jeep side, if I touch the white ground wire to the jeep frame it sparks. Similarly, if I have everything in place, but the ground coming off of the trailer 4-plug connector and touch it to the trailer frame, it sparks. Is it a bad ground on the jeep side? I'm going to contact the place I bought it from and see what's the deal. Thanks for any other suggections.

These are my grounds right now. For the Jeep side, I drilled a hole into the Jeep frame and sanded it down to the metal. I then attached the ground wire to the frame with the supplied screw. For the trailer side, I have the ground wire coming off of the 4-wire connector going to a screw, which is in the trailer body. The two trailer lights are each ground to their mounting screws. I'll try a few configurations tomorrow after work. I'm thinking it might be a ground issue as well. Thanks for all your help so far. If anyone else has anything to add, please don't hesitate.

This harness is run through a 10 Amp fuse, which is connected through the car battery for powering the lights (called ModuLite®).

Hi guys. I am having some issues with wiring my trailer. The problem has to be on the car end, because I tested it on another trailer and the same issue happens. A little background first: I drive an 07' Jeep Compass. I am using this wire harness kit : http://www.towready.com/pdf/N118428.pdf The trailer lights are all new, along with all the wires on car and trailer side. Now my problem is that the right trailer light, regardless of the trailer (tried my boat trailer and a utility trailer), stays on. It even stays on with the Jeep off if I have the 4-flat connectors connected. If I turn on the right signal, nothing happens because the light is on. The left side works perfectly. All of the jeep lights are functioning normally. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks guys! I have a newer 07' Jeep Compass. I am probably just going to pick one up and install it myself. Like others have mentioned, apparently it's easy to do. Thanks for your help guys.

Looking to get a Trailer Hitch put on my Jeep. Last time I had one put on was through U-Haul and it was pretty expensive and I didn't really like their customer service, so I am hoping to go through another outfit. Any suggestions? I am in Dunnville, so somewhere around there would be ideal (Hamilton). However, my boat is located in London so London would work also. Thanks for any help guys.

I'll be looking in to upgrading my boat within the next 1-2 years. Nice boat there tizfun. So, if I buy a boat in the US what exactly do I need to do to bring it across the border? Thanks!
