Well I ALMOST made it to the water today. I'm getting closer. I was about a mile from the launch at the Small Boat Harbor driving down Ridge Road. I saw a puff of smoke in me rear view mirror, my partner says " I smell Something" I saw the battery light come on to dash. I pulled over and took a look at the plug from the vehicle to the trailer. The wires were melting through the harness under the vehicle. At first i thought the wires contacted the muffler. But after further investigation the wires melted from the fuse box the the trailer plug. Now the directional signals are messed up. Oh Boy! I went to the boat dealer the vehicle dealer, back and forth to get it right and this happens. Anyone have any suggestions on where to get this mess straightened out? After all of this it may have been a loose wire that caused all of this?????

That doesnt sound good joe at all. I would start looking at farthest point wires burned. The fact it burnt all the way to fuse box is confusing. Fuses shoild of popped, my thought is ehat kind of pain +$ to fix wirings of the hummer. Not a good start to the year! !. You hauled the old rig with the hummer right. What difference between old trailer wiring and the new one?

Joe, what were your issues before that you had the trailer in the shop for? Burning all the way to the fuse block doesn't make any sense. Like bailey said the fuses should have burned out, long before they melted that far.That's what they're there for. What size fuses were in there? 30s? (green). If you have a separate fuse block for trailer wiring like I have nothing should be over 15amp( blue). Are you running a 4 flat system? Or the 7 pin with trailer brakes? If it is 7 pin and electric brakes I would say that the brake battery is back feeding the system possibly and melted everything. The strange part is you made it Down the road always before it happened. Do you remember if you were on the brakes, lights on, or turn signals when it happened? You could also have a wire chafed through somewhere causing a short to ground. But again that's what fuses are for. The only other thing I can think is you have soooo many lights on your trailer that the wires couldn't handle the load through them and over heated. But you would have to have alot of lights. Ha ha. But anyway, that's all I can think of for the moment. Wait! If you do have electric brakes and the system shorted out, it's all in the same harness on the truck and would have melted all the wires without blowing fuses.
