tow package harness not getting power

I was rewiring a small trailer with a friend, somehow he crossed up the pig tail...I seen smoke coming from the pig tail that was plug into my F350 tow package harness now I'm not getting power to the tow package harness at all. Is there a fuse that is for that alone? Or will I haft to replace the harness it self... Just tried to hook up my horse trailer, but no power... Has anyone had this problem? Its a 2003 F350 dulley


Thanks for any help

What are the details on the truck? Year, F150, 250..... etc.
May get better answers in the forum specifically for your truck.

Ok, I'll admit that I'm not familiar with that year, but does it have an electrical box under the hood, full of relays and GINORMOUS fuses? If it does, I would think that the fuses would be in there, but I've been wrong before. It's just a suggestion for you to check, until someone with more knowledge chimes in. I don't think that year had fusible links in the wiring. If you have the owners manual, it may tell you if it has a fuse, and where it would be, if you can decipher the list.

Asked my neighbor (he has a 2004). Other possible fuse locations (depending on what exactly you lost power to) are behind the passenger side kick panel, but since the "covers" to the fuse blocks only provide reference numbers, you must have the owners manual to figure it out (or a friend that has one for the same year).

No power

Your truck has what is known as a central junction box. it is below the knees on the driver side, pull the cover then pull the cover to the fuse box. look at fuses f2.38 it is for the trailer tow, then f2.39 for the trailer back up lights, f2.115 is for the trailert battery charge in the trailer (depending on the size of the horse trailer it may only work the lights inside the trailer) Then one more to check is the f2.101 which is for the trailer brakes. Good luck
