Do Trailer Lights have to be Grounded to the Main Trailer Connector Ground
Question:
My trailers white wire id grounded to the metal frame and does not reach to the lights. Do I need to add an extension to the bolts of the st9rb or can the lights run without the white wire connected to it?

Expert Reply:
As long as each of the lights on your trailer are grounded to a clean, bare metal surface then you will be good to go. On aluminum trailers though sometimes a jumper ground does need to be run to the main trailer connector ground. But not with steel frames.
