I am replacing all the lights and wiring on my small 4x8 trailer. It has 4 pin wiring. I've hooked up everything except the ground wire. Is there a better way to connect the ground wire than drilling a hole and using a self tapping screw? Seems like I always have issues with the ground after a while, so I am wondering if there is a better way to connect the ground wire to the tongue. Once I connect the ground, if I am having trouble with the lights, I am guessing that there may be an issue with the grounding of that particular light. There is no ground wire going to each light. Would it help if I added one? If I add one, do they all need to be hooked into the one ground wire that goes into the harness, or can I simply use a 6" wire for each light, and drill a hole into the frame near the light and connect it there? I want to do this once, and not have to mess with it again for a while!
