Reply With Quotecheck the splice where the plug on the truck connects to the tail lights. sounds like it might have come apart there. that would leave the turn and brake lights still working.

Help....No tail lights
On Nissan frontier, stop and brake lights work fine on trailer, tail lights...no. Terminal for tail lights from truck is dead. Not shorted. Tail lights on truck work fine, pigtail connector block looks good. Now my trouble shooting skills are at an end. Is there a dedicated fuse for trailer tail lights only?? or do a have a problem further up the line???

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

Turn signals are usually the same circuit as brake lights. when you hit pedal both wires have power. Check at the truck plug if its ok there then keep moving back. Trailer plug trailer wiring etc. If no power at truck plug go forward.

I believe one of the 2 fuse boxes under the hood will contain fuses for your trailer lights. Should be a diagram of the fuses in the cover.

Make sure you have a GOOD GROUND a lot of the time the ground wire will look good but it will be broke or just have a bad connection. Jim C.

My running lights went south a few weeks back. While chasing the prob, I found an abrasion where the pigtail comes out the front of the trailer with a broken wire- almost invisible. Fixed it, and will run anew pigtail in the future thru a piece of noodle to stop the abrasion. still had no lights. Chasing forward I wound up in the fusebox, this is a 2000 GMC Jimmy. Low and behold, I have a set of dedicated fuses for my trailer. One for left, right and running. This was a first for me and several others knew nothing of them either. Just some input. Don't stop chasing the source, and don't be surprised what you find.
