no running lights

I have a 2003 F250 with no running lights on my trailer.
I just got back a week ago from a 2 week trip with the 5th wheel without problems. Now I have no running lights, the rest of the trailer has power and lights just no running lights.

Do you have power to the pin in the plug on the truck that powers the lights?

Check the fuse for the trailer running lights first. That is more than likely your issue.

Thanks for the replys.
I have power at the plug until I plug the trailer in, then no power. I pluged the trailer in my other vehicle, everything works fine.

The brake / turn signal circuit uses the same ground, so that can't be the issue . . .

You may have something loose inside the outlet on the truck. Can you open it up to inspect?

Maybe try wiggling the connection around a little. Other than that, I agree with thomabb, something has to be loose.
