In my opinion, EVERY trailer should have its wiring ripped out completely any time something doesn't work right, or once a year, whichever is sooner.
I realize that some people buy quality trailers new from the factory, maintain them properly, and never take them off the pavement. They also either park them for the winter, or live where that isn't an issue.
However, I have never seen or worked on those trailers, all my experience has been with stuff that should be loaded up with scrap iron and left at the scrapyard after it goes across the scales. The owners don't want to hear about replacing anything, but will spend their life savings on Scotchlocks, electrical tape and other Band-Aids, also the labor to tinker on it and the defective equipment tickets.
Most of the problems I see are from poor grounds, poor grounds, and poor grounds. Then there is physical damage, corrosion, corrosion, and corrosion. After that comes did-it-myself, and in a hurry. And going back to cheap owners, whatever lights, wire, and connectors they could get at Walmart, or take off some other piece of junk they own.
I finished this and realized that it is more of a rant than any kind of useful advice for the original poster. It does sound as if there is still hidden damage from the original problem, and a complete replacement of the wiring may be a real short cut in terms of labor and frustration.
