I hooked my trailer up last night to goto work, and noticed the parking lights on my trailer didnt work. The bulbs are fine, parking lights on truck are fine, turn signals on both work, and i am not getting any kinda power throught the connectors at the hitch, the 4 or 7 pin for the parking lights. any eye deers ??????
I would check the back of the plug on the truck side. Maybe one of the wires into the back of the plug has been pulled loose. Do the other lights (on the trailer) work O.K.?
i have checked the fuses, wiring, everything ... nothing is showing at fault. no bad wires on the truck side, and the trailer wiring looks good as well. this is becoming harder than finding a corner in a round room!!

No power coming out at the plug? Check the connectors where they splice into the wiring harness on the truck. Most places that install them use those cheesy ones with the little metal horseshoe that you force down around the wire and it cuts the insulation. Salt and elements will work thier way in and corrode the connection.
I had the same problem on my 96. I had spent a few hours tracing everything, pulled all the wiring apart on the truck and trailer side, checked all bulds, and it dawned on me to check the fuses. 10 seconds later I was good to go. It was in the fuses under the hood
You have too watch those fuses under the hood. I know that I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong with my plug, then a buddy of mine showed me my blown fuse. I was so mad that I had to laugh. Mike
