Left the barrel race saturday night to head home after dark and had two lights on the trailer, the two on the nose. My right brake light and turn signal worked, but no marker lights.What do I need to have to be able to see if the bulbs are burnt out or if its wiring? I would take it in to our local trailer place, but its a month wait to get stuff worked on!

Sounds like a wiring problem not burnt out bulbs. A 12 volt electical tester will do. Start at your truck connection. Gound the clip, then probe each of the prongs. If the tester lights up, you have juice. Of course you need to have your lights on first. If it is not in the truck end, pull out a bulb, ground the tester and insert the probe into the socket. Check each fixture all the way around the trailer. You can buy a tester at any auto parts store or hardware store for usually less than $5.00. They come in handy for testing fuses and all 12 volt systems.
