Congrats, Lisa - good on ya!

Sorry to hear about the refrigerator, but, are you SURE it is not working? RV refrigerators are not like the ones in your home. They don't make a "running" sound and...

Sorry I confused you. The yellow wire coming out of the wall is the power wire. It comes from your switch. You will attach your new black wire to it with a wire nut.

The electricity returns to the...

NO, NO, No - You can use the light you have! The "ground" connection is not in the light, it's at the end of that white wire where it is attached to the frame by the rusty screw.

All you probably...

Lisa, regarding your porch light, the black wire from your trailer is definitely the +12V feed from the trailer. Is it connected to the yellow wire? If so then just connect the new light the same...

Lisa, you do not need lights with 4 wires. In fact, it probably doesn't even matter what color wire you attach to the existing ones, since ordinary incandescent lights are not polarized (doesn't...

Oh, cool. I don't think you had a backup light on your trailer before, and if that's the case you won't be using the red wire. You could cut it off or just not connect it to anything.

Wire the two...

Oh dear. Is there any installation pamphlet with the new light that says what these wires are for?

The two white wires are almost SURELY ground wires, one for the brake/turn/running light and the...

Lisa, that one looks to me like your Brake/Turn/Running light (if it's the one on the right). The other one looks like a single filament bulb and should be the one for the license.

Neither bulb...

It was probably a stupid question, but I was thinking maybe one could cut off the center blade.

I hadn't thought of that, Bob - Good on you! I'm going to buy a flasher next time I'm in town. I assume you have to use a 2-blade flasher? I notice some of them have 3 blades.

Good, so now, I have no good guesses on why your outside lights don't work.

I lost my left hand brake and turn signal, because a mouse or rat had chewed through the wire, somewhere behind or...

Lisa, that picture you posted of the yellow wire looks more to me like an interior light circuit. Do all your interior lights work?

Marine is preferable to automotive. It does better under "deep cycling" conditions, but NO battery really does well if deeply cycled.

An automotive battery is designed for engine starting.

Lisa, it's a puzzle. The wiring diagrams show "white" wires as the ground circuits.

I STILL suspect your black wires are grounds. You would have completely separate, different color wires going...

Lisa - if you've lost virtually all of the lights in the rear of the trailer, that wire is probably a "common" ground wire. If you have a "bunch" of black wires that are not connected to anything,...

Jean, the "wire bundle" you speak of in the bathroom is probably all the 12V feeds and ground for things like the running/stop lights, interior lights, ventilation fan, etc. The Air Conditioner is...
