Tail Light Issue
My 2017 Ram 1500 has a towing package, but did not come with a brake controller. So, when we recently purchased a new travel trailer: The dealer installed a Quest brake controller. It was just a matter of two screws, and plug in the wiring harness...
The travel trailer lights (via the 7 way plug) work fine. However, I have discovered that when I plug in my boat trailer (5 way plug) the right rear tail light does not work.... I tested my theory by plugging the boat into my son's truck, and all the lights work fine.
Does this make sense? Should I get an adapter and only use the 7 way plug? Should I unplug the brake controller when pulling the boat? (boat doesn't have electric brakes anyways)
TIA
