Yes. Negative to pin on flat 4 that is different. Positive to each of the other three to test each circuit. 12v battery or dumb charger/power supply works.Can I test them without connecting to the car?

I could just build myself a sturdy (and heavy as hell) ramp of 2x4s and plywood. That would do the trick, but that would only work in the house as I wouldn't feel like carrying it up. Hell I could just lift the bike partially on my table and just drive off it onto the trailer.
Is that a Robertson wood screw? If so, that's seasonal maintenance as the ground is relying on the surface cut by the threads.Removed the rotting plywood from the trailer, and drilled into the frame to ground it as per GTAM recommendation.

don’t flame the connectors that’s just to test the lights before a final connection.
Need to test it all tomorrow.

All you need is the meter, no battery required.Sounds simple. Need some spare cables to jump it.
EDIT: no dice. Not only that my cable from negative fell onto the positive on the battery LOL
Sparks, fizz, and smoke…..but the battery is still showing 12V….FML

You can see the charting on the negative terminal. Time for a new battery?
Cable just slipped out of my hand.
I think he put led lights on.All you need is the meter, no battery required.
Put it on OHMS.
Measure Pin 4 (the female) to the hitch - 0 OHMs is a win!
Measure Pin 4 to pins 1, 2 and 3. 3 ohms is a win!
I think most trailer kits have load resistors if they come with LEDs. If not, aren't the lights are gonna blink fast?I think he put led lights on.
My led trailer lights don't draw enough to make my old school flasher work. I have never bothered to hook them up to measure the resistance or draw. Something to do next time.I think most trailer kits have load resistors if they come with LEDs. If not, aren't the lights are gonna blink fast?
Trailer lights work! The issue appears to be the connector in the car as it’s not sending out a signal.
Meaning my issue is larger than I wanted.
Neighbour pulled up when he saw me frustrated and we connected the trailer to his car. All lights work.
Sanded using a flapper disc, then touched up a bit by hand. Shot a little POR metal prep into the seams and bare metal on the front and ramp.Looks good @Mad Mike how did you prep and paint it?

Use a 3m paint remover wheel in a drill, it takes stickers and goo off in an instant. It you have a cheapie grinder you can use a flapper disk.Nice thanks. Previous owner had a ton of duct tape on the trailer so I’m trying to figure out how to remove all the goo left over.
But I wouldn’t mind painting it over as it looks garbage in it’s current state.
