Distribution box trouble

I'm trying to figure out why the trailer lights don't work on a 2000 For PSD. Just bought this truck and after reading some forums on here. I started testing fuses with a test light. I found that all the odd numbered fuses 1-11 are dead under the hood. No power in these at all. 2-12 are fine. Has anyone else had this problem. Thanks

My information shows two (2) parallel fusible links providing power to the Battery Junction box (shown below), both feeding a common bus. Would suggest tracing the two links via the large Black/Orange conductor from BJB. Your trailer tail lamps are powered via a relay, energized by Fuse #4. Turn signals, Left = Fuse #1, Right=Fuse #3.
