I was having a similar problem - the previous owner apparently stored the TM outdoors in a wet and rainy climate. All the light sockets were corroded, and required scuffing and cleaning the connectors. Inadvertently, the fix turned out to be storing the TM in the garage, which I had to do anyway because of subdivision covenants. Ever since the trailer has been garaged, I've not had one light fail to shine. I know not everyone can store there trailer in a covered place, but that seems to have made a big difference. It's a good thing the stop/brake lights on cars are better shielded from the elements than those on trailers, or we'd really be in trouble!
