so hooked the jet ski trailer up last night to get ready for the beach. to my dismay, some of the lights are not working. after lots of tracking, i have pinpointed the problem is coming from the truck wiring harness. when i hook up the circuit tester, i get light only on RT turn signal (green wire). but i get nothing from LT turn signal (yellow) or from stop lights/running lights (brown wire). gotta get this up and running TODAY!!!! is there a fuse for the trailer wiring harness that i could be having a problem with? i cant seem to find what fuse number it would be in the manual....

Try fuses 5, 19, and 20, and try swapping relay 201 with 204 (the A/C clutch relay). Try the fuses first, though.

Also, try to follow the wire back to make sure there are no breaks in it.

Same thing happened to me. It ended up being one of the connectors that leads to the 7 pin plug.
There are 2 connectors under the truck that feed the 7 pin. One of those connectors had a pin pushed in that wasn't making contact. I ended up cutting the wire out of the connector and crimping it together with a butt connector.

turns out I had a short on the trailer that kept blowing all of my fuses under the hood. but i couldnt figure out why it was just the left turn and brake lights. turns out the short was running along the left side of the trailer....go figure. thanx for the help guys.

had that same problem with our trailer on the way to the desert at night in my dads cj7. not to fun with out any lights on curvy roads. luckly had my uncle behind us leting us know if our tail lights went out. spent an hour taping all the wires up so they quite grounding out.

and i live in point loma/ocean beach area. about 15 or 20 mins from your place. depends on traffic. about 10 mins away from fiesta island. side streets Voltaire and Catalina. those are off Nimitz.

sry to everyone reading this going where the hell is that? San Diego if your not sure.
