I got pulled over in it tonight. Apparently theirs a short in the plug for the trailer wires and a short in my hatch that causes my tag lights to come and go. Lights on the trailer worked fine when I left but now when I hit the brakes the trailers running lights come on. When I let off the brakes theirs no lights at all.(head lights on on the jeep) Got a warning for both.

you really used your leaf spring as a recovery point? one bolt can snap you you are done for.
