I carry one of these 7-WAY TEST ADAPTERS in my RV TOOL BOX. It helps knowing for sure whether the problem is on the TRUCK side or the TRAILER side. This is available from ETRAILER and AMAZON...
I also squirt some WD-40 into the 7-way connector on the truck side and move the trailer plug around back and forth some everytime I hookup.
Its very important to me to have my safety lights and Electric Brakes working on my trailer before I get on the public highways. I do my walk-around the trailer with parking lights ON and the emergency flashers going checking all the lights when I first hook-up and when I first pull out towing my trailer I will stop the trailer at the first stop sign I come to using the BRAKE MANUAL SLIDER lever to stop the trailer and truck. On my Ford truck the brake pedal control for my trailer electric brakes is disengaged by the truck computer system when the speedometer is below 10MPH so I have to use the BRAKE MANUAL SLIDER LEVER to apply trailers brakes.
