Thought I would try you guys before heading off to ford site.
Went to use the trailer for the first time this season.
All the lights (and trailer brakes) worked except for driver's side trailer blinker. (2002 Ford f150 super cab.)
Went to our destination, loaded trailer. Thought I would try to fix before returning home.
Pulled wires from truck plug and trailer plug. Trailer plug fine, truck plug corroded. When I tried to pull 7 wire plug from socket under the truck bumper I arced plug. Replaced fuse - running lights now do not work on truck and trailer. Left unplugged and drove home successfully without accident or police pulling me over - not the best thing to do but...
I replaced both trailer plug and truck receiver plug tonight - always keep extra on hand - 7 wire plug. I pulled and check fuses one by one. Everything works except for running lights on trailer and daytime lights on truck. When the trailer is not plugged to truck the daytime running lights on the truck do not work - everything else does, blinkers, brake lights etc. Electric brakes on trailer work too when plugged to truck.
I know I am missing something - checked every fuse - all good. Is there another fuse or relay I should look at on the truck to correct the daytime running light problem. I figure if I correct the running light problem on the truck the trailer running lights will work too.
Any guidance would be really appreciated. I wrote wiring schematic down from old plugs/receiver & trailer/truck before changing. I replaced signal bulb just in case it was bad. Everything worked last fall when hauling...
Thanks
