Hi all
Well we have had them all toyhauler, travel trailer,multiple campers, and cargo.We are now back to comfy however 21 year young 26 foot 5th. Its a slumber queen and its actually quite nice.I did reapir to one wall that had dry rot with two other area that can wait ,however super clean and everything works except!,turn signals.It was actually worse i had no rear lights but i installed new plug and now everything works reverse lights and even brake lights but no signals. I checked my truck trl fuse on our 2003 2500hd silverado but it looks good.We ars about 11 days away from our first trip any nelp would be good or just might have to hire someone

Yeah they were actually. Yesterday when I came home i went over everything and I took the bulbs out looked at the number. I went on the old interweeb
And evrytime I typed in trailer 1157 bulb came up,shes ready for trip to sunshine valley next week. Thanks everyone, although i did replace the 7 pin plug we worthwhile it was corroded and didn't make good connection

Yep 1157. Is a 1154 even a dual element bulb?

I borrowed a 7 pin connector tester it has led lights so when you us turn signals brakes or back up the led lighys come on.Everything is working on the truck sooooo now where ti look at the turn signal issue ug ??

[candjmc]

Yeah even the brakes work and no i dont have separate turn signals

[shadows4]

You said everything works but the turn signals. Does this mean the brake lights work? If they work the turn signals should work also. You don't happen to have separate turns signals on the truck do you?

[candjmc]

Ok thanks great information. Yes everything works so far aside fro turn signals. I had cargo trailer and everything worked just fine.I will connect it and check each terminal. We are going away aug 2 so I need to fix it

Two things here, one your trailer plug cover on your vehicle should have the correct wiring codes for each of your items, etc marker lights, brakes, brake lights, turn signals ...

Also when you open up the panel inside your vehicle all your fuse placements should be marked on that panel so you know which is which ...

With the trailer disconnect have someone turn on the lights, then turn signals, hit the brakes etc to make sure that the trailer plug is working correctly. Once you know that the trailer plug on the truck is working then you can go to the wiring on the trailer.

With the trailer plug connected to the the truck an the trailer plug sleeve cover off test each wire with a volt ohm tester again as you did when the trailer was not connected and you tested the truck plug. This should tell you if the plug wiring to the trailer is ok and now you know if all is ok there then it has to be in the trailer it's self ...

So now with the lights working (on) you should check the marker and tail lights to see if they all have power to them with the volt ohm meter, once that is done then have someone depress the brakes on your truck and see if they work. Of you have both brake and tail lights then the problem is either the bulbs themselves or the socket the bulbs are in have no ground ...

Ground is very important to trailer lights working, always make sure your grounds a clean and the hitch to your trailer is making ground, lots of times people wonder why they have no lights etc when the problem is that the trailer is not grounded to the truck, thus no ground no lights ....

Hope this helps safe travels

Oh shoot i didnt see that ,darn spell check.
I actually posted this from my phone originally and my eye's didn't catch that.No its new to US thsts for sure. I would almost think its fuse but the fuse looked ok if I in fact looked at the correct one

"New RV to us" ?

[azdryheat]

I just stopped in to see if the thread title "New rti us" is explained. Still don't know what it means. Bye.

[candjmc]

Im pretty sure I picked the correct fuse and it looked fine

The brake lights and turn signal lights are the same lights, BUT they have separate fuses in the engine compartment fuse box. Look for fuses that start with TRLR (such as TRLER STOP) on the description under the fuse box cover. These fuses cover the trailer circuitry only.
