Ok- so after reading and re-reading tow wiring threads, my head is spinning. I think I have it all right so far- got a new 7 pin connector, installed a j box at tongue- ran wires for marker, right turn and left turn under trailer to the back for lights and marker light circuit. I connected the white wire up front after j box to the frame, and installed another white wire in the back to the frame for back light grounds. I am running a ground to all of my lights- just to be sure. I have read that people put a ground wire from each light and attach it to the skin under a screw. Is it ok to run the ground wire from the light to the frame itself (vs skin)? Just checking- as that what I have done, but can always connect it to the skin instead.
Thanks
Kathy

Running a ground to the frame from each light will work just fine. You will need to have the tow vehicle grounded to the trailer frame for the lights to work too.

Yes, the white wire from the 7 way cord should be grounded to the frame, and when plugged in will ground vehicle and trailer. Be sure the receptacle on the vehicle has a ground to the vehicle frame.
