Why does your trailer lights go out when you hit the brakes on your f 150?
You have a grounding problem at the trailer. The white wire is the ground on trailer wiring. The taillights are brown, the signals and stops are yellow and green. Sometimes the white wire will loose its continuity with the truck, causing the lights to black out. It could also be a wiring issue with the trailer itself, but most likely its the ground giving you feedback and causing the blackout. run a wire from the ground contact on your plug back to a spot on the tongue and secure the end of the wire to the trailer at that point. Do not rely on the contact of the trailer with the ball hitch to establish a ground.

Why will your boat trailer tail lights work but not your turn signal or brake lights when hooked up to your 1997 Cherokee when you know for sure the problem is not in tne trailer wiring?
1) I've learned more than anything to unhook the lights before backing the trailer into the water. Nothing like a hot bulb meeting cold water.....but if you believe the advertisements, boat trailer lights should be waterproof and not let water into the space where the bulb is. RIGHT !!!! 2) Now, the other issue that has to do adequate grounding usually needing more just the hitch ball. - inadequate grounding is the number one cause of trailer light problems and cause all kinds of strange behavior (work sometimes, or only when headlights are off, or both sides flash with either blinker, etc.) - try a better ground than the tongue and checking for any corrosion at any of the individual light ground connections (which tend to corrode over time).
