As I posted in the Conqueror Lighting thread:
You really have to get someone with a probe tester as these things were imported as parts and assembled here. When I spoke with the outfit that imported them (when I got my Conquest), they said that when they imported them, there were no instructions for assembly and that they learned by trial and error.
The earlier ones may have wires that are not in the right places, however, I suspect most have been sorted by now.
It would probably also explain why non-grade 8 bolts were found in some of the earlier models ... especially like yours that has the amber light on the back. Those were early Compacts.
I should note that some LED pucks are plug and play on the rear of the trailer (a pain to get the OEM pucks out, but once done, ... not so bad to get new in). These will reduce the draw pretty significantly and might stop fuses blowing. For sure check your suspension bolts.
Also, just an FYI. These were 2004 model trailers (if yours is white). They went to beige not long after.
You are probably showing as a 2009 because it wasn't sold new until 2009 (when it was first registered). Since these VIN's don't pull up in any systems in the States, they just put 2009 (the date you registered it) as the year model.
