Question Trailer lights stopped working...
I wanted to find out if anyone has had this problem. I've had the hitch harness on my truck for about 2 years now, and had no problems. I used it last night and it was working. now this morning nothing. I've checked the fuse in the right side panel, and it was fine. I have verified that it is my truck that is having the issue (i've checked it with about 3 other trailers that I know work, plus a test light). Any one have any suggestions about where to start?

Thanks for the help,
Andy E.

Did you check the voltages on the pins using a voltmeter?

Not a voltmeter, but used a test light, and got nothing.

Ok, today it's working, and I don't know why. I didn't do anything!?!

Thanks,

Andy - glad it's now working. Might have been just a glitch in the light module that reset itself when the i-bus went to sleep.
