2001 Excursion Towing Relay

I am looking for some guidance. I have a 2001 7.3 and have no power to the hitch to charge the camper battery. I have fuse 115 under the hood (30amp mini-max) which is good, but no power at the hitch. Am I missing a relay somewhere, one that's stuck or bad?

Check the little relay box next to the underhood distribution/fuse box. There are spots in it for the relays for the trailer charge and trailer backup light circuits.

Note: If your truck is a 4x4, there will be a second box for the transfer case relays.

The owners manual only references the fuse location 115, it does not mention relays. So I am wondering if the power passes thru a relay going to the bumper because fuse 115 is hot all the time.

Yes, the power has to pass through a relay (which is not covered in the manual). See my previous reply
