Trailer Lights Problem

I have a 1998 Expy EB with the towing package. I'm not getting any voltage to either pin on the trailer connector for either turn signal. I have running lights. I checked voltages at the small connector up under the left rear quarter-panel...no turn signal voltage there. My guess is that there is a fuse(s) somewhere that are blown. Anyone got any experience with this?

Trailer Lights Problem

Check the fuses in the under hood fuse box. Owners manual is a great help for these things. Sure wish everyone would leave them in the glove box where they belong.

Trailer Lights Problem

It was a fuse...#2 in the little box nearest the firewall on the driver's side under the hood. I found the information in the owner's manual I downloaded from the Ford owner's web site.

Many thanks for the tip!

Trailer Lights Problem

Ken:
As I recall, there are 3 different fuse boxes that have fuses related to your trailer lights. The one inside the truck and the others are under the hood on the driver side. One box is very small containing only 5 or 6 fuses.(one being traler related). Look carefully in your onwers manual. It will guide you to the location of each box and which fuses are related to the trailer lights. It took me a little time, but I finally figured which one was blown. Let me know if I can help further.
