SOLVED! Trailer pigtail issue
I just bought a new 2016 F-150 that I'm using to pull my trailer. My parents were using it during my purchase and have recently returned it. When I hooked up my trailer the right turn signal doesn't seem to be working. I get a fault code on my screen indicating the right marker isn't working.
However, when my father hooks it up to his older chevy the right blinker works just fine. We've tested that the right turn pin on the female receiver of the truck is getting power. And we've hooked my truck up to a different trailer and the right hand turn signal worked. The pigtail fits a bit loosely in the receiver so wondered if that might be the problem.
Lastly, the right hand light was a replaced light a year or so ago because its a light that also has the license plate holder and that broke. We made sure the bulb are the same. But maybe the fixture itself pulls a different amperage and is throwing the fault code?
Any thoughts? I'm baffled that it works for my father's truck but not mine, and that my truck worked on a different trailer.
