    Default Wiring problem


    I'm wiring another trailer to my truck. Everything works but the right turn signal. I get the meter out and check the wiring, it's ok.
    I check the adapter plug, not getting right turn signal.
    I pull the adapter out and check that monster plug, not getting right turn signal.
    I stab the wires on the back of the plug, can't find right turn signal.
    I have a terminal block at the back of the bed that has a few plugs into it. Wonder if I have a bad plug there?

    Cane I don't know what kind of truck you have but some of the new ones have separate fuses for each leg. Might start there first then work your way back.

    Yep....run into that also.....the fuses for the turn signals and lights in the fuse box in the cab checked good.....really scratched my head awhile on that one then I thought about checking the other fuse box under the hood and found more fuses in there separate for each individual light and also the individual trailer lights.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Thanks for the help. It's an '01 GMC. When I got some help, I found that I don't have brake lights either. I'll check the fuses in the morning, figure the problem is in the towing package.
    I have a 6, 12, 24 volt test light. No one around here carries a 1083 replacement bulb. I bought a new 6, 12 tester cheaper than the bulb will cost if ordered. Delivery tuesday of next week.
    I see this thread was moved to off topic. I thought I posted it in the right place because it deals with towing lights of a boat trailer. Since you're moving, move some of todays fishing threads out of off topics.

    I found the problem.
    Trlr pkg, trlr right, 10 amp fuse was blown. Right turn and brake lights work on boat trailer now.

    Now tackle this other trailer. The lights have 1 black wire and 2 red wires. The instructions say to tie the 2 black wires to the yellow wire. The red wire goes to the brown wire. Ok, they are color blind. If I tie the 2 red wires to the yellow wire, the running lights are brighter than the turn signal. I'll wait til I get some help so I don't have to run back and forth so much.
