7 pin connection

I had one connected To my 1996 gmc yukon. I just changed out the casing and hooked everything up because the previous one wasn't working. I now have a left turn signal working and the left one lights when I brake, but I can't get the right side to work at all. I tried putting a new bulb in and it didn't work. Any suggestions??
  • My 2004 sub has 2 fuse box locations for the trailer lights. Any trailer shorts or plug issues trips the fuses in the dash box, and also under the hood.
  • Some GM trucks have a separate fuse for the right and left sides.

    Sounds like mistake on hooking up wiring on your 7-way connector... My Ford has a legend printed right on the case which blade runs which lights etc... Could be a ground issue as well...

    You can also go to ETRAILER.COM as they they are the masters for all things trailers... You can match up colors probably by looking up your make of truck.

    My 2010 truck also has separate fuses for each of these trailer connectors - I have three fuse panels on my truck Under hood, behind glove box and on passenger side kick panel...

    ANother trick I do is I carry a 7-way connector test adapter. If this work then there is no problem with the truck side. has come in handy a few times.
