- ACZLExplorerAs pointed out by AP, test your trucks plug w/ a tester. The 2 pins at 11 & 1 o'clock are marker lite pins. The pins at 7 & 4 are turn signal pins. If no power, then like w/ other's, you've blown a fuse.

Hummm? I do it all the time.
X2. Are we expected to unplug trailers or campers every time we shut off our rigs and then restart ?
I have Never heard about that before. Seems horribly inconvenient.
"Shore power"; if you're plugged into the pedestal =and= your truck, then you start it up, you can blow fuses. I can only assume that if the pedestal breaker is OFF, this isn't likely to happen.
Lyle - CasinojunkieExplorerCould be wiring for pin plugin.
Sometimes the wiring going to the plugin gets corroded, have to check the plugin for power and turn signals. - slickest1ExplorerI would check the plug. Some times they just need to get wiggled a bit. Or sometimes things come apart in them.
You can check the plug on the back of the truck with a test light for all functions and you will then know if it is a blown fuse or not. - FarmerjonExplorer

Thats probably what did it but I cannot locate the fuse. argh - CampinfanExplorer IIInothing in the manual mentions the trailer brake or stop lights. The closest I see is Trailer Tow park lamps but those are working. I have lights when I turn on the lights just not brake or turn signal.

- Artum_SnowbirdExplorerYup, with a truck that new you have likely blown a fuse.. I think there is one fuse for that, not a left and right fuse, but I have blown it before too. The real question is why did it blow, and that might take a lot more looking to figure out.
