Tow plug wiring problem

Question

I have a 2007 Ford Expedition.  I hooked up a trailer for the first time and the 7pin plug is dead except for the brake controller and the tail lights and markers.  I have no turn signals or brake lights.  I checked the wires before they go into the plug and they are dead.  Someone said there is a fuse for the trailer tow package but I don't find one.  Anyone with an Expedition that can help me?

Did you check the fuse layout in your operators manual?
