[VAC] Re: electrical mystery



Greetings Josef!

While the two incidents may be related, I would seriously doubt that
they are related.  My suspicion, based on a similar recurrent problem
with my '64 Overlander, is that you aren't getting good contact between
the trailer plug and the tow vehicle receptacle.  I have frequently had
to clean the brake/turn signal contacts on my trailer plug to get
brakes, brake lights and turn signals to operate.  Another possibility
may be a loose wire on either the tow vehicle connector or the trailer
connector.

Good luck in locating your problem.
