Running lights but no brake or turn signal
I've hooked up to other trailers and I have the same problems. It really seems to be in my vehicle. Any suggestions.

If the vehicle lights are working correctly then it has to be in the truck plug, some of the factory ones just plug into a harness by the spare tire. Lay under there and follow the wire. Might just need to be unplugged to make good contact.
Ok this is the last thing I have tried. Nothing works. The vehicle lights work and the running lights work. When I tested the male ends of the plug under the car I got no light on my tester. I get one light of the 7 posts on the trailer plug.

Check your owner's manual. nickthehunter wrote:
Have you ever used this trailer connector before? Is it one turn signal or both? Generally, the stop lamp and the turn signal are the same wire, but not always. If it's just one turn signal, that narrows the problem down to one wire. You need to get a volt meter and check the one wire and figure out the problem. If it's both turn signals, all bets are off.
