Fuses
Is there is a seperate fuse for the trailer tail lights. We have voltage at the pin on the truck for left and right turn but not for tail lights. The tail lights on the truck work, but nothing at the connector for towing.

Yes. The manual distinguishes between stop/turn lamps and the tail/park/running lamps.

You have a specific set of tail light fuses just for the trailer - they are four amp fuses in a box on the left front fender liner.
You should always keep some in the glove box because they are an uncommon fuse rating. (4A)
SEE ALSO: "Fuse Locations: Do you know where yours are?" in this forum
They are not the same as the normal running light fuses for the truck - the makers set aside a seperate set of fuzes just for towing so that your truck lights can't be affected if a fuse blows.
No worries, ANYTIME!
It's what I'm here for

PS: Please note the number designation of those fuses and the year of truck in a post in the link I gave above so that we all know what they are.
(FUSE NUMBER THIS, FUSE NUMBER THAT, etc....)
I'd like to target a goal so that all of that info is in the same place where we can all find it. Maybe one day we can put it together in a table format.

I had a similar problem with my '91 Wilderness 24M. It turned out to be a bad chassis ground on the trailer itself.
Chassis ground repaired; lights working great.

Reason I ask is because currently i'm having issues with my 1980 Triple E travel trailer. Brake and Signal lights work fine, but the running lights aren't coming on.
I visually checked all the fuses and only found one bad one, switched it with a working one and there was no change.
Today I'm going to try to get one of my buddies with a truck to come by and hook up quickly to see if the lights come on or not. Narrow it done to my Expy or the trailer..
