[SEL] Semi OT - Trailer question

[Charles R Bryant]

John,

I fought the same identical problem on my single axle trailer several years
ago.
I know on a stormy rainy night during rush hour traffic coming through
Buffalo,NY this was no fun.
I don't remember exactly but I think it was one of the light asemblies.
