Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring that Stopped Working After LED Trailer Light Install
Question:
I recently bought new LED trailer lights to replace my old incandescent ones. Wired them up, simple enough but now all the lights come on when plugged into the truck there is no response to blinker/brake because they are illuminated already. Never seen this before. Any ideas?

Sounds like you have a short between the stop/turn circuits and the 12 volt accessory circuit which is putting voltage on the power wires for the lights at all times. Best option is to go over the wiring of the trailer looking for any obvious shorts like exposed wire etc. and fix as needed.
