Question blinkers

Hi Gentlemen,

first off, I want to thank all who helped me with my defroster issue. I never would have thought to look under the dash flip cover, and t was so simple, I felt like a moron(LOL)

I also discovered a way to fix the thrust lever if you ever break the plastic connector like I did.

My current issue is that I have no turn signal power at the trailer Connector at the plug on the van itself.

I have running light power, but nothing from the signal lead's themselves..

I know in the past, on some other trucks I have owned, you needed a booster device to give more power to your trailer lighting, and I thought it plugged in by the fuse box.

I do not know or remember if I ever needed or installed such a device on my 2001 Ford E-150 were working on now.

So if anybody has a clue why I have no power to my trailer plug turn signal leads coming out of the vehicle, but still have running light power itself, it would be greatly appreciated

is it a fuse?

the long forgotten light booster I installed (but seems like it would be tied to the rest of the system...?)

Let me know what you think Gentlemen

You may have to install relays for those lights in the underhood relay box.

Ok, is that a part that would have broken, as I had turn signals on my trailer last summer.
And I still have functioning turn signals on the van now.

Just no longer have blinker power at the van's connector plug that connects to the trailer.

Thank you for your help

Check for rust INSIDE the 7-way plug on the truck.
