• Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal on 2013 Lincoln MKX Not Working While Flat Towing
• The first place you want to check is the connector on your motorhome. I'm not sure if you have a 4-Way or 7-Way connector but I have attached diagrams of each for you to reference.

• Trailer Taillights Malfunction When Vehicle Headlights are Switched On
• What you're describing is the classic symptom of a ground problem. Everything works fine until the headlights are turned on, which is when the maximum amperage is drawn through the system. That's when a ground problem will rear its ugly head. On the vehicle side of the equation, there's a white ground wire exiting the converter box. Make sure that's connected to clean, bare metal on the vehicle. If there's any corrosion or undercoating or dirt that's preventing the back side of that ring...

• Troubleshooting Lights Not Working with the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles
• You will want to check the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56002 to ensure that it is working properly. To do that, you will want to use a circuit tester # PTW2993 and test that you have power on the wires before the converter and after the converter.
