Having a bit of an issue with the trailer wiring harness on my '98 xj.
I installed a Hopkins plug in wiring harness flat 4. plugged in a test plug, and plugged in boat trailer both giving the same issue. left/right, hazard, and stop work until i turn on running lights, then only running lights work, no brake or turn. The odd thing is if i probe the wires going into the back of the plug i get brake/turn with or without running lights. I have taken off every ground connector i can find sanded to bare metal and reattached. I even ran an extra ground from the ground wire between the plug and converter box to an existing ground bolt.
Taillights on the jeep itself work without issue. factory taillights with incandescent bulds. trailer lights, test plug, and test light are led. Continuity tester used to verify grounds.
Any help is appreciated, I've spent the better part of two days searching and testing solutions to no avail.
