Noobie Stumped!! Trailer lights

[oneboss302]

Well, I have done all the searching I can do and read every thread that the search found.

My problem is I have no lights to my trailer plug. I have checked the fuses, relays, and the plug under the rear of the body that connects to the actual 6 pin trailer connector. I have parking lights, but no turn signals or brakes. All lights USED to work with my jetski trailer, but then I lost my left turn signal and now lost all but the parking lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im considering just hard wiring it off of the tail lights.

1999 5.4L Eddie Bauer edition.

Have you checked it with a multimeter, or just connected the trailer up?

 

[oneboss302]

Yes. Checked with test light. (Not multimeter though)

Have you checked the fuses in the engine compartment.

Fuses 5, 20, 19, 101, 108.

Then check fuse in the CJB, fuses 23 and 13.

I know you tested with a test light, but check the bulbs as well.

Thank you!!! IT WAS fuse 20. I swear I checked that one but went out first thing this morning and sure enough it was popped. Thanks so much!!!

Try to check the ground first. Also, don't forget to recheck your wiring for the plugs. Remember this, a quick way to check the ground is by having a set of jumper cables attach to the vehicles chassis. Good luck!
