... I have a new problem with my lights, everything is working except my brake lights, now what could this be Start at the pigtail. Determine if it's the truck or the trailer and go from there. |
Trailer lights
It's most likely a poor connection from your vehicle to your
trailer. First check to see if your trailer connection is corroded if you can scrape the metal a bit it may give you a connection. If you buy a 12 volt tester ($4.00) with the lights on attach the alligator clip to the ground which is the white wire or the exposed metal part on your vehicle connection put the sharp tester part to the other "holes" or connections on the vehicle. If you have power the tester will light so turn on your running lights and caution lights. If this is working the problem is not your vehicle. good luck |

There's a separate fuse for trailer connections. I had replaced the left rear light fixture on the trailer but still had no brake lights. Trailer mechanic at local shop popped open front passenger kick panel and discovered a blown fuse. He replaced the fuse and now I have full lights on the trailer. Maybe your truck, whatever make it might be, has a similar setup and it may only be a fuse onboard the truck. |

If you buy a 12-volt light tester on the additional grounds, is the white wire or connection to the vehicle tester pointed out some loopholes or other vehicle attached to the metal part of the alligator clip. If you have the ability, the tester open your lights and warning lights.
