I was having troubles with the lighting on a trailer I borrowed, and through experience I know that it's pretty much always a ground issue. I was surprised to fin in my troubleshooting that it was not the trailer, but rather my 9-7x. Here's how I fixed it, sorry no pictures.
The connector removes from its bracket by pushing in a small button and twisting, you can then pull it out a little. That gave me enough clearance to find a clip on the side and pull the wiring loom off. As soon as I did, I could see a nice bit of corrosion on the ground connection. I took a small file to it and cleaned it up and then applied di-electric grease to all the connections on reassembly. Perfect lighting now!
Troubleshooting aside, it was a pretty painless fix, hope it helps someone else out.
