Welding my trailer - Do I need to disconnect lights etc?

[HamAndEggs]

Per the title, I need to do some welding to my trailer frame. Can I just go at it, or do I need to disconnect any lights etc? Its a Big Tex 60PI

Weld away. No worries for the lights. Ground as close as you can if your concerned.

AFAIK it's only ABS you have to worry about.

PN junctions are your only problem. The only PN junctions on a trailer might be LED lights unless you have one of those break away trailer braking systems.

Thanks guys, trailer has LED lights and breakaway, but so far it works fine!

Look out for any wires inside the frame that might be under your welds. I shorted out my concealed wiring and had to rerun them. That should be the only problems unless there are electronic devices.

I never have unhooked any lights when welding on a trailer. No issues so far.
