Anybody have a diagram for a wilson hopper bottom? I have 5 lights on the back that are not working. 5 on the back up high to be exact.

What you need the diagram for Roy?
Check your ground first.. more then likely it's not good.
Then while hooked to your rig with the lights on... pull the lights out of the holes and start checking for power. If you can't find any at the lights then find which corner post they feed the wire up to get to the top lights and check at the bottom where it goes up the post, see if you have juice there. If you do.. your wire break is up higher somewhere.... Use the old wire to pull the new wire in and then sauder and tape the wire together. Do NOT use those worthless sauderless crimp connectors. I used to be a big fan of those because they were easy. Well... lemme tell you. sauder is easy too and lasts. Crimps do not last.

Rich, my Wilson trailer blew out a set of tires a few years back and I had to replace the ass end of it. Well during the process the three red lights at the top on the rear of the trailer did not work. Not a big deal, everything else worked so I did not give it much thought. Anyway I decided to make them work. I had two hot leads hooked to nothing down low at the rear, but nothing to tie them into. Wires from lights went down corner post and vanished. I ended up just wiring one of the leads to the wire I could see @ the lights. Not exactly how it is supposed to be, but it works. @ one time I thought maybe something during the tire blow had caused the lights to be bad so I took them off. Wow they were on tight, broke the screws on half of them and had to drill them out just to get the lights back on. Anyway all is good now.
