Hi all,I am having problems with my trailer lights.Left turn signal works without parking lights on.When I put parking lights on signal does't work.I don't think the left brake light works when parking lights are on either,All else seems to work OK.

Thanks Jim

I would start by making sure you don't have an open ground on the left socket.

Yes, I would start by measuring from the left light bulb socket to ground (i.e. part of the camper frame).

Austin,Thanks for your help.I had a bad connection at the left socket.Cleaned  socket and bulb and greased it up.All works good now.

Thanks Jim
