    This may be true. I'm currently dealing with a tail light that only works when it rains. And a couple other gremlins.

    If you have a tail lamp that is working only when it rains then water is getting inside a connector or splice and completing the circuit for power or ground. I would disconnect each lamp and inspect the connector for corrosion and look for a broken wire.

    LOL. I had to be pulled out from my trailer and towed a few weeks ago. The tow truck driver asked if I was fully disconnected and I proudly answered yes as I had been ready hours earlier. I was in my truck steering it straight as he pulled and I saw a black hose on the ground. Wasn’t sure what it was. He pulled a little further and I heard the noise…..I knew what I had done. Forgot the freaking airlines!!!!! Such a rookie mistake. Replaced the airline/electrical assembly. Ever since I have had goofy trailer light gremlins. Very annoying.
