What a lot of people do not understand is that the light switches are designed for X amount of lights or amp draw . Then they go and throw on a trailer and tap into the tail light wires to power the trailer lights and add more amps to the switch. when i add in a trailer plug i also tap into the tail light wire , BUT only as a trigger tap to trigger the C V relay that draws off a power point that feeds a separate breaker same with the turn signals they run thru a C V relay also off the power point with there own self resetting breaker with everything going into a central junction box and a 7 wire trailer cable running back to another junction box then to the trailer plug . Everything is in a sealed box or plug Now if your truck came from the factory with trailer tow it is about the same . And one other thing i do is that i have my trailer lights on two separate systems just like semi's have , if one system fails for what ever reason you will still have tail lights and some side marker lights . Usually you have two tail lights on a side so one on each side should be on a separate system and if you have three marker lights on the side then pone of them should be on one and two on the other , if you have more then break them up .
