Try putting something in your thread title actually related to your problem.

Make sure you really push the trailer plug into the trucks female recepticle hard,,,and that the lock tab from the cap locks in,,,I recently had to change the the trucks connection(trailer slid on ice smashing into the plug,,,,D'oh)and ever since,,I really have to push them together to stay connected and have no "Check Trailer" message,,,Good Luck,,,Mark

I just bought an 08 f 250. Sometimes driving down the road towing my trailer, I'll get the "trailer disconnected" message. It goes away quickly, so I just ignore it since if the lights are on it's obviously still connected.
