See your owner's manual.

running lights on the trailer are tied to tail lights, right? yes, there is a fuse under the hood on the drivers fender well. i have had it blow a couple times. on my trailer, you need to have the truck not running when you plug in the trailer. if it is running, it normally blows the fuse.. i dont remember the exact one, but its probably yellow (20 amp), and the small C shape.

They call them "park lights". Same thing as running lights.

Owner's manual gives both the fuse and the relay information.


Guys, you MUST use the correct model year. There are variations every couple of years and, if yours is different, it doesn't apply.
