Hi all new here, hoping to get an answer, I have a 1980 Hornet Truck Camper, It is just equipped with running lights (No Tail Lights) my question is what are the three wires coming out of the camper for there is a Black, White, and Green wire to a flat four prong adapter. I plugged it into my truck but only the right side of the camper lights up! The front, back and other side of the camper don't work nor does the light in the camper work.
Any ideas would be helpful... Thank you in advanced |

I would get a test light and start at the furtherest light from the plug that is working and work my way from there to make sure the wire is hot. Also I have found that most of the older campers with marker lights have bulbs in them that after time lose their contact,what I mean is try to pull the bulbs that are not working and clean or replace them before you go cutting any wires or drive yourself crazy trying to find the problem. If the bulbs are the type that push in then you maybe can just spread the little contact wires and this may help. As far as the inside light I would check the bulb and clean around the socket first.
