Ollie215 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Any idea why my rear lights are on? Disconnected from vehicle; connected to 30 amp at campground. Running lights and all other exterior lights are off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geO Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Mine does the same thing when water gets in the tow connection. I now have a cap I put on it and does not happen anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShallowGal Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We have had a problem in the past with our trailer lights coming on. We found the problem to be moisture in the 7 pin plug that connects to tow vehicle.

geokeg Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Ours does it under the same condition if water gets in the connector plug. Shake the water out and lights extinguish. George and Gretchen Gig Harbor, Wa. Hull Number 178 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie215 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Thanks everyone. I shook the connector and the lights went out. I will buy a cover tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geO Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This is the cheap cap I use. I need to repaint it because I don't like the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Davies Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Can’t you just hang the plug vertically so water can't get in? It is also necessary to seal the entry into the plug housing, using silicone sealer. Water goes in that opening too. That is what I do and I have never had that problem, but maybe I have been lucky and it just hasn’t happened yet. Plus I live in a dry climate.

ShallowGal Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Can’t you just hang the plug vertically so water can’t get in? We thought that would be the answer too but, at least in the subtropics, the lights still came on.
