I promise you do. Its in the corner of the driver's side fender and the firewall. Between the fender and the master cylinder.

He has a 2003. They moved all the fusses to the cabin compartment in 2002 I believe. I would suspect a relay or fuse as well.

Went back and read that. I swear the last time I read that post it said 2000. I need a nap.

Are you checking voltage against the truck or ground on the plug? You need to pull the fuses and check the them with a meter. They may look ok, but still be bad.
Did you get the link where you can download you a owners manual?

Got it. It was a blown #6 fuse (Trailer tow turn/stop relay). Thanks for all the help guys and the owners manual online.

Chit, I guess I missed seeing that was a fuse. Glad you found it.

Take the covers off, and turn on a turn signal. Listen for the clicking relay and thats the trailer brake/turn relay box. the two smaller ones are the ones your looking for. Check out https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...g-a-relay.html Its a thread that I have started since I am having the same problem. In my situation, I dont have constant power going to these two relays.

Hope you just need to change relays...
