Wiring for trailers

[Peter_Grimsditch]

Some trailer plugs/sockets are not very high quality and tend to develop corrosion or loose screws after a while. It may be worth dismantling your existing connectors, cleaning the terminals and checking that everything is tight before parting with cash...

If it's the trailer plug that's at fault, you may need to replace it. Most of the DIY places sell replacements and they're easy to fix with just a screqdriver.

Your wit and wisdom are fast making you a hero in my book, Brian. Thank you for this encouragement. Bit like the frequent "shot to nothing"of the snooker commentators. As long as I methodically unscrew and re-screw the wires into the equivalent places on a new plug/socket I wlll be no worse off than I am now. the connection between the two has been awkward for months, perhaps because of dirst or corrosion. I'll let you know what happens.
