No turn or brake voltage at 7 wire trailer connector
2017 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.7 turbo.
Renting this truck to pull an enclosed trailer. I connected the trailer to the truck and only have running lights on the trailer. Turn signals and brake lights work on the truck but not on the trailer. I checked power to the terminals on the 7 way plug and 4 way flat plug. I am only getting power to running lights on both plugs. I checked fuse 72, it is for trailer tow left/right/stop/turn. It is good. I also checked other trailer tow fuses 42, 54, 65, 84, and 99. They are all good. I checked them with a test light. I checked the wires under the truck and all seems good.
Do these trucks come ready to tow or does it need something else to make the turn and brake lights work? Another harness, relay, programmed?
Thanks,
Kirk

While I've never had this exact issue, you might try setting the parking brake, then with your foot on the brake, put it in neutral, and give it another try. When I hook my TT, I can leave it in park and it works. I test lights with the parking lights on, and emergency flashers. That activate all elements. Also try wiggling the plug around in the socket. There are fuses under the hood for the trailer lights.
