I just rigged up the wires on my S-10..........If I remember correctly there are 2 ground wires. One brown and the other white. Maybe the wiring for your trailer is not like this?? I think the directionals were yellow and green....
The brown wire is the ground not the white one!!!!! I didn't even hook up the white wire............and have not had a problem. The wrong wiring could mean that the juice is being shorted to the chassis.

if its not to late , you can buy a harness that plugs right into the original tail light plugs , no wire splicing , alot less chance for corrision you can get them at most good car/truck accessory stores. i bought one for my last truck took 15 min. to install , no chance of crossing wires . 4 years old now and still works great , the new truck i just bought came pre wired with a plug and cap right from the factory .good luck
