Strange lights!!!???

Strange lights!!!??? - 07/18/18 11:37 AM

Last night I plugged in my onboard charger so my batteries could charge overnight... This morning about 5:00 I went out to check on the batteries and I noticed a very dim light coming from both tail lights.... When I unplugged the battery charger the Lights Went Out...when I plugged it back in the light came back on.... I have never seen this happen before... Has anybody else?

Since they were dim it means that your trailer was less than half charged.😁 That is weird. I would think you have to have a short in your charger and also your trailer wiring for that to happen. Better check all your grounds (battery, charger, and also check the ground on your big motor). If you have a motor tower on it could be grounding though that. If aluminum boat and bunks are wet could be grounding that way. Fiberglass is not conductive. Tracing shorts can make you go bald. Good luck.
