Trailer running lights

Need help in locating the fuse that would control my trailer running lights. My trailer brake & turn signal lights work. When I connect my trailer to other trucks the running lights work. I assume this means I have a blown fuse that controls my trailers running lights as I've checked all wiring. Can anyone point me to the correct fuse. The truck is an 2008 F350 diesel that has two fuse boxes--one located inside the passenger side and the other under the hood.

Did you check your owners manual? They are identified in the manual. Also, you not only have fuses, but there are relays for all the trailer outputs.

Looks like fuse #42 (30A) and relay #55.

Under the hood.

I did not check the under the hood ones as they are difficult to access-- but I guess I'll try

BTW, in your manual, look under Roadside Emergencies. That's where they list the fuses.
