towing package

Ok I've checked every fuse, even consulted the owners manul for fuses I might be missing. I can't find anything wrong, the wiring looks good. What I'm talking about is my brake controller. I used the factory supplied pigtail in the glove box. The Truck came with a towing package ( '00 F150 ) and I found where the little plug in goes under the dash BUT I still get no lights, nothing from the brake controller. Any web sites you guys know about to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to FTE

You have checked the power distribution block under the hood on the drivers side near the firewall?
There are 2 fuses and relays that are part of the kit for the towing package that are not installed at the factory and are in the bag of goodies in the glovebox. One relay and fuse is for the lights and one relay and fise is for the trailer brake.

Yes sir, I got the owners manual out and saw those fuses and relay were needed. I installed them both and still nothing.

Do you have anything without the trailer connected. Sometimes it's a bad ground ??

There are also fuses for the trailer package in the main fuse box under the hood. Your owner's manual will show which ones.
