I am having electrical issues with my 96 wrangler. I just added a new connector, changed the tail,brake,turn lights and today added a new ground since the ground wire went somewhere into the trailer and didn't terminate near the gooseneck. Everything that is working is nice and bright! I still do not have connection with my prodigy and I thought I would with the new ground. Seems the trailer has grounded off the ball previously.
I'm thinking I may need to run new wires to the brakes and I'm trying to make a plan and what I need. I have 2 axles. Are their brakes on all 4 hubs? Do I ground each brake or connect right to left and run the ground back to the new ground I drilled today.

The blue wire goes to each hub on each axle, all four have brakes. One wire of each magnet is grounded to the frame, the blue wire is connected to the other blue wires and run to the plug. If you are unsure about the individual frame grounds, you can pick one particularly good spot, and run common grounds from each brake to that spot. If you are unsure about any other ground, a separate wire could be run to the newest point you just installed, using it basically as a connector.
Here's a published diagram that shows a common circuit:
