    Default No trailer lights

    We were on vacation and lost the lights on the trailer, all the lights on the Spyder still worked, and
    checked all the fuses and connections and they were fine. I have the BRP factory hitch and wiring
    harness and all LED lights on my trailer.( No power to the pig tail.) We will take it to the dealer Wed. to have it checked out
    but wanted to get some ideas from the people on here. Thanks in advance for any info.

    Still sounds like a fuse or relay. Change the fuse even if the old one looks good. A good place to start. Check the connection at the trailer end of the hitch tongue which is 18-24" from the front of the trailer underneath. Check BRP trailer parts fiche. This could be loose.

    I thought I read about people blowing the trailer module out somehow. I think the guess was that the module did not have adequate ground but never hear if that was the actual cause or not.

    Most likely the BRP module. I finally installed a norm $73 , after replacing 3 of them. Got it from big bikes (I think) plug and play. It is a 5wire flat head hook up.

    That's what I think it is after checking and (replacing the fuse) and all connections.
    I will let the dealer check it and replace it. But as back up do you have a part #?

    SAME PROBLEM - I am waiting for my third trailer light module from BRP. I think it might be the heat from under the seat frying them.

    They have had problems with the harness for the 2014 you need to get the grounding harness for the trailer or you will keep blowing harnesses.

    OK, so what is the grounding harness for the trailer?

    I just added the one from Big Bike Parts (41-162). Works great
