Please try to follow me here lol........................ Ok here's what I know/found. I remember in my Talbert RGN that when you pop out the far outside light there was a screw with a wire attached to it, that trailer was 12 years old and it was the same wire there when I sold it! I went to look on my trailer now and it doesnt have that. I have strobes in my light panel that also act as part of the turn signal. I went and turned on my right turn signal and of course still flashing right and left. Actually it only flashes the strobe part of the turn signal and not the red light.
So there is a wire that runs from one strobe to the other across the trailer I unplugged it and the left strobe stopped flashing(Which is what I want it to do) I flipped the switch for the strobe lights to come on and they both still flashed. So after it stops raining I need to follow that wire to see where it leads.
But, I need to replicate everything I just explained....I need to do it on my trailer and not the flip!!!!!!Rideandrepair, gentleroger and cke Thank this. -
Oh it’s raining? Probably have a couple bare wires and the moisture is causing them to feed across. I bet it doesn’t do it when it dries out

I've had a turn signal that would also actuate the marker lights off and on. When I disconnected the light it stopped happening. Corrosion in the light ended up being the problem, and a new light fixed the problem for me.

These problems are the most annoying.
