My 2019 1995 Lance Travel trailer puck light are wired improperly, and the light is not working. During the manufacturing process the technician did not have enough wire to make the connections to the LED puck light or did not terminate the wire ends correctly, leaving the bare wire exposed to the foam. The foam insulation has some burning around the wire ends. It's difficult to see the burned area from the attached images but it's there. I'll need to cut out additional insulation in order to expose enough wire to add marine graded connectors so the wires can be extended. Unless someone has had this problem and there's a better solution. If so, please share with me.

I'm a little confused. Your trailer is a 2019 and the light was just now found to be inoperative? Original owner? I ask because maybe some work was done in the ceiling or to another light and the wiring was pulled, causing the wire to come out of the connector (or loosened, overheated, and become disconnected). I'm not sure why there'd be burning, unless the exposed wire was the 12VDC hot wire and some way contacted ground or the 12VDC negative wire. Have any lighting fuses operated?  I understand the exposed burns melted and there is insufficient slack in the wire to just strip a little insulation and reconnect?? Bottom line, I'd use common automotive electrical parts/wiring to facilitate repairs. I'd also check wiring at other near-by lights—is one picture of a good light?
