Trailer Lights.

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me any reason why my running lights on my trailer aren't working but all the other lights are?

I would say you have a bad fuse #2 in your 2004 Ranger Passenger compartment fuse panel, a 10 Amp. fuse.

You probably have a bad ground wire. Either broke or not a good ground to the frame.

I would check ALL grounds first. Make sure the ground from the connector to the truck is good and then work back from there. Remember, some trailer lights ground through their mount studs so they need to be against bare metal and not rust. Bad gounds will drive you nuts on trailers.

Another possibility is a bad trailer running lights relay. Have you checked that.

Should be under the hood.
