Question for the trailer towers here
I have 2 trailers that I'll be towing at different times behind my truck camper. I just added the an extension cable that you insert by taking apart the connection at the back of the plug and insertin...

Brian,
Duh I have one of those testers that you plug into the 7 pin to check the wiring. Should have thought of that. I had to use it on my 2011 Ford when I was running a 4 pin trailer so every time I backed up the close proxmity alarn wouldn't go off as it faked out the truck to think there was a trailer with brakes hooked up. I sued this unit for over 11,000 mile for the trip to Alaska and back. This is what DJ found that worked so I bought one of those and it worked great for that.
I suspect that it is in the trailer. I did not have the hitch on the ball on the truck so it could be a poor ground. I know everything worked right. The extension that I added in is made by Curt. I also need to back the truck up to my other trailer and see what happens there.
Thanks for the suggestions. If this wind every lets up here this year I'll get a chance to check it out but I don't feel like crawling under it with 20 to 35 MPH winds. I don't function well in higher winds. It drives me crazy. This is one of the reasons I moved out of CO and the wind drove me nuts. I know it was a short drive, thought I would get that out right away.
