I’ve had my 1976 Argosy 26 for about six months and am finally going to get to use it in a
couple of weeks. When I got this trailer the first thing I checked was the exterior lights
and to my amazement they all burned/worked perfectly. Last night I started getting
everything ready for a trip with the trailer and this involved moving the trailer from my
workplace to my home. I hooked up and guess what? The lights are not working. I have
access to several tow vehicles so the first check was to try another TV. Same thing.
Here’s what I do have:
No running lamps, clearance or tail.
I do have:
Left turn signal.
Right turn signal only dimmer than left.
Brake lights, left brighter than right.
Left reverse light, no right reverse light but with dim right taillamp.
When trailer is connected to tow vehicle there is a periodic click, like pehaps a relay
coming from behind a plastic cover that is on the street side wall next to the waterpump.
I’ll have to remove the sofa and a piece of the paneling to access this cover. What is
behind this cover?
I have checked the wiring with voltmeter just behind the trailer side plug and have power.
However, the wire for the running lights goes from 12 volts down to 6 and back with each
click of what ever is behind the afore mentioned plastic cover.
Where can I access a wiring diagram for this trailer and does anyone have an idea of
where I should look first. in diagnosing this problem? A magic wand would be nice about
now.
