What's wrong?
The trailer tow module on the 2017-2018 Triple E Rv Wonder controls trailer lighting when a trailer is connected. It sits in the driver's door stepwell area, where wiring from the vehicle connects to the module and sends signals for trailer lights.
On affected Wonders, water and snow enter that stepwell area and collect around the module. The area has limited drainage, so pooled water splashes onto the module and wiring. Over time, corrosion damages the electrical connections. That damage can create an electrical short to ground, which means current takes the wrong path through the ground circuit and overloads the wiring.
Owners can notice rapidly flashing turn signals, a blank instrument display, loss of heater and air conditioning controls, or loss of radio, screen, or SYNC functions. An odor of overheated or melted electrical wiring is also a warning sign.

What's the safety risk?
An electrical short can increase fire risk. Turn signal, instrument cluster, or seatbelt pretensioner problems can increase crash risk. Warning signs include rapid turn signal flashing, loss of the instrument display, lost climate or multimedia controls, or overheated wiring odor. If those signs appear, park safely and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Triple E Rv dealer.
