sounds like you have a problem with how you have your trailer wiring hooked up, sure there are no bare wires.

I have had 2 diffrent traliers hooked up to this truck and it does the same thing. I was wondering if that the t-plugs that connect to the factory wiring can go bad. I spayed cleaner on them and that didnt help.

not saying the tralier harness on the trailer i am saying the harness on the truck, from where it hooks to the trailer all the way out.

the t pins can get coroded and wires can get pinched.
