I am NOT an electrical pro, but especially with low voltage, common grounds,
etc., I have learned one thing: CHECK THE GROUND. RUN A SPECIFIC/SEPARATE
GROUND. All kinds of crazy things can come to pass!!!
Yeah, I know, this is another off-topic, me-too post, but the topic is sorta
on topic, and the emphasis is worth the repetition!. IMHO

Not necessarily so, John. Check your ground. If it looks good, make it
better.
If you have to test it by clamping a jumper cable to your bumber and the
trailer, do it.
I suspect the ground is not perfect, and you've got voltages back feeding
through filaments and doing all kinds of crazy things.
