    I don't think so.

    I don't know anything about trucks with Multiplex wiring if that's what you have, but on a regular truck I would tell you to just run a direct ground from the chassis to your bunk lights and see if that helps.

    Just on a quick side note bad grounds can do things you would never believe. I have seen trailer lights that were not grounded properly and the way that they behaved I can't even explain it to you... it could even make you think the trailer is wired wrong or maybe wires burned and melted into one another or something...

    Bad grounds can cause crazy problems.
