Pulled all the markers yesterday no signs of water anywhere and they all work when jumper out. I'm going to google that short meter and see what people are talking about. I have a 110v tracer but I don't think that will pick-up 12V. At least the water pump is fixed now.

If the lights all work when jumpered, it has to be something on the truck or truck receptacle.

The only thing that has changed is the truck.

Is this after they ripped the island out to fix a plumbing leak?

Most stereo installer places have them. They have to hunt grounded wires.
Another cheap check. Add another truck to trailer ground. You might be surprised.
A d/c test light can check for draws.

Good idea. Since the problem reportedly occurs while the TV/TT is in motion it's a good chance there could be a faulty wire in the "pigtail". Everything after the connector wire securing point on the TT is not subject to a lot of movement. Not saying there could be no movement...just note likely.
Jumper the 3-4 connection at the plug and use some aggressive shaking of the cord to see if the fuse blows.

Come on fellas, Glenn has towed that trailer 1000's of miles without a problem with the lights and all he does is switch trucks and the problem occurs so it is the trailer? Pretty big stretch!!!!
Blame FR, not FOMOCO or the truck receptacle? Get real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took his original post to mean this happened with both trucks.

He towed 1000's of miles with his old FoMoCo. So he changed trucks from an 04 to an 07 and the problem reoccurs and now it's the trailer. Makes perfect sense. DUH!

OK, I'm sorry for the mistake. I'm guessing you know some history not detailed here or ....
