Sneak circuit with TV connected

GulfCoast

Just after we arrived at Dauphin Island, Alabama the other day, I noticed that a few of the LEDs on the T@G's tail lights were very dimly lit. The T@G was still connected to the car, but the car was switched off. The dimly glowing LEDs went dark when the 7-pin plug was disconnected. (Other possibly relevant details: battery switch was on; there is no charging wire in the 7-pin system on the TV.)

Apparently, there's a sneak circuit somewhere that leaks current from the car to the trailer. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any insights about how to track down the leak? Should I even be concerned with it? Obviously, there's no issue with battery drain unless the trailer is connected to the car for a very long time.

Thanks.

That condition is not peculiar to your car. Most of us unplug when parked or have a cut-off switch to open the circuit between car and trailer.
