- Both Blinkers on With Wiring Harness 118811
- It isn't the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118811 being bad (if that's what you were referencing by "the connector itself"); if that was the case nothing at all would be working as it's the module that would be going bad.
When both blinkers go on at the same time, the issue is a bad ground. So on both your tow vehicle and trailer, make sure your grounds are attached to bare metal surfaces and free of any paint, dirt or corrosion. I'm guessing it's the...

- As long as the 3 inches of the hitch pin that extend beyond the pin holes of your trailer hitch do not interfere with anything you would be totally fine. This is a pretty long hitch pin lock so what you described is pretty normal for people who use it.
I attached a picture we got from a customer that shows it sticking pretty far out to the side of a hitch opening.

- First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # 3808 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached.
If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue.
Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean and...

- On your second hand cargo box, there may be a number on the lock cylinder. If so, see if we have a replacement key using part THKEYN_ _ _ . For instance if the lock core reads 009, then you will use # THKEYN009 as the replacement key.

- To confirm it is a controller module (circuit board) issue with harness # 118675, I recommend double checking your connectors to make sure there isn't a bent pin and the connections are tight and then making sure the ground connection is bare metal where connected. Then using a circuit tester like # PTW2992 you can confirm power is getting into the black box from the connections but not exiting it correctly. If it is receiving but not sending correctly then it is a faulty module.

- For starters, I would recommend doing some troubleshooting.
Use a multimeter like part # PT89ZR and test the leads feeding the brake assembly magnets. Have a helper activate the manual braking switch on the controller, while you probe the wire. You should be getting approximately 12-volts at the brake magnet.
The Nev-R-Adjust brake assemblies are known to click, make sure that they are installed on the correct side of the trailer. The # 23-469 should be installed on the right (passenger)...

- No need to worry, your # C13381 hitch is likely bent a little from when it was shipped. The mounting brackets are made to flex a bit so this is not uncommon. Flexing them back into position will allow you to get the hitch on the outside of the frame rails and complete your installation.
You can use a table vise, an open step, the floor, or any number of other methods to accomplish this. It doesn't sound like it flexed much based on that measurement you gave, but it wouldn't hurt to inspect...
