Trailer lights not working

[xrvr]

The reason I keep mentioning two fuse boxes is because my friend had the same problem exactly and we found a second fuse box in the truck also for the trailer hookup. Jim

I appreciate the input. That was the first thing i checked when it didn't work. Like i said kinda weird that i get the running lights but nothing else.

A can of spray electronic cleaner may help.

Yep. Make sure you spray electrical cleaner both on the truck's electrical receptacle and on the pigtail connector on the airstream. Also you can stop by an rv repair place and they probably will have a dummy pigtail used to rest all of the electrical connections coming out of your truck. It plugs int the truck receptacle and has lights on it showing whether each connection is live and working.


Good luck!

That's a great suggestion thank you. I think I will buy one of those.
