Is there such a resource that shows the parts and wiring of the TC-167 trailer? Have had a bad ground issue with flickering interior light all last year and now it is more lights - have a feeling my mice pals have ben chewing wires in the walls.......

Can't help you specifically but I had this problem in my enclosed trailer and it was in the v-nose of the trailer on the floor structure where the ground wire screwed to the trailer. It was not screwed in a good spot and corroded over time. Cleaned aluminum surface and installed new screw and sprayed with battery protector problem solved. Aluminun likes to corrode with electrolisis.
here ya go... good luck!

Sounds like it's either the ground or the truck itself - the new GMC/Chev 1/2 tons and maybe 3/4 seem to have issues with trailers that don't draw the right voltage or return enough power to ground - where would the main ground wire to trailer be located to check it? I checked power at the interior switch when plugged in and got 0.18 V so leads me to think it's the truck not sending power properly.......TIA
Triton runs dedicated ground wires to each individual fixture on the trailer from the main tongue harness, no exposed wiring anywhere. I'd check the tongue harness myself, I'm on my third one in my clamshell. The little aholes love to nest in there for some reason. Looks like the TC has a splice at the rear of the tongue somewhere.
Also wouldn't hurt to hit that connection with some Deoxit D5 or good contact cleaner, could be some corrosion in that splice.

I'd try and find that 4 wire flat connection at the end of the tongue harness, its either that connection or the mice likely exposed some wiring in the tongue and its shorting out the harness to the tongue.
None of the light fixtures can get ground from the trailer metal itself, its all from the wiring harness, pull any of the lights and there will be a white ground going directly to it. Triton does not connect any grounds to the trailer metal, so trying to ground the frame isn't going to help anything. Its all solid connections to every fixture from the 7 way connection at the truck.

So doing a little looking around, the interior light may be the one exception to the rule where they utilized a chassis ground. All the exterior lighting will have dedicated grounds wired to it, which you said are acting up now as well i believe?
When I had issues with my Triton trailer, the left clearance light was out. Caused rear lights to flash, no matter what was active. Replaced clearance light from etrailer and all was good.
