Well, I'm on my third season with my 2000 Nitro 185 Sport and finally have a problem that needs immediate attention. Mice had taken up residence inside the trailer - probably during the winter months. They managed to chew the wiring in several places on both sides. The only circuit that is affected is the running lights since it is on the outside of the harness. The ground wire is on the other side. The fuse (under the hood of truck) for this circuit has blown a few times and I finally got around to troubleshooting the problem. Also found a few places where the wires rubbed the trailer holes (no grommets).
Anyways, I replaced the harness on the left side today. I plan on replacing the right side tomorrow when I get back from fishing - turn signals and brake lights work. I think I will rewire the trailer during the offseason with the harnesses on the outside of the trailer. It will also make it easier to make a visual inspection.
Oh yea, I HATE MICE!!!
