Will A Short In The Trailer Wiring Short out The Converter Box On A 2008 Jeep Compass
Question:
My 2008 jeep compass lost power to the left turn signal for the trailer. I replaced the converter and the turn signal worked the next time i used the trailer i had the same problem no left turn on the trailer and no power from the converter. i have LED lights on the trailer but am questioning if a short in the trailer wire will take out the converter?

Expert Reply:
Yes, a short on the trailer wiring will take out the converter on your 2008 Jeep Compass. You will need to inspect the trailer wiring on the left side of the trailer to locate where the short is and repair it.
The LED lights on the trailer will not be causing any problems with the converter.
I am sending a link to an information page that will describe how to troubleshoot your trailer wiring.
