I had a tow package installed by a Toyata dealer. I used it several times last year but when I went to U-Haul this past week they couldn't get the lights to work on the trailer. Does the light switch have to be an a certain setting for the lights to work on the trailer? I can't find my owner's manual. Thank you
There are separate fuses in the fuse box for the trailer lights than for the vehicle lights. Ensure these fuses are good. The trailer lights work without any special settings on the vehicle light switch.
If you're getting no lights whatsoever (no brake, turn, or running) then you likely have a grounding issue. This is usually the white wire on the trailer lights.
Do you have a 7-wire, 6-wire, 5-wire, or 4-wire trailer light connector on the rear of your vehicle?

Check the taillamp fuse on the truck. If it is blown, you either have a short in the wiring of the camper, or the 7 pin inverter box on the camper.

Sounds to me to be a groung issue. Have you tried to hook an external ground between the truck and trailer? If you got everything at the plug thats not the problem.

If you don't have a 'plug' for the trailer taillights, then the trailer renter, like Uhaul, sells bulb adapters that hook into the tail brake and light lamps that can power the trailer taillights.
I remember, I had a 1980 Suburban that didn't have a 'compatible' plug, and that's the way we resolved the problem.
Good luck on this towing.
SOURCE: My Totota Venza's tire pressure
No car defect - there is a normal amount of wear on your tires after 10K miles, and
one (or more) of the tires are starting to leak air just a little bit - which after 1.5 years and
10K miles is entirely expected.
What's happening is that the TPMS (Tire Pressure Management System) sensors (one in each tire)
are sending info to the car's computer telling it that there is low air in at least one tire.
To the TPMS, "low air" means a drop in air pressure of just a few percent (set by the
manufacturer). A drop in pressure in just one tire will light the dashboard light.
The spare (temporary) tire is not monitored by the TPMS, and typically carries a pressure
of 60 PSI.
According to http://www.safercar.gov (NHTSA), a normal tire will lose as much as 1.5 PSI
per month as air escapes the tire and rim naturally.
The 2009 Toyota Venza utilizes the "direct" TPMS system (as opposed to the indirect), which is
explained by the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPMS
If you or dealer suspect the TPMS sensor(s) in one or more tires, they can be purchased on the aftermarket from sites like www.rockauto.com, www.carpartsdiscount.com, et.al. After the new TPMS sensor(s) are installed,
you (or your garage),must re-teach the TPMS system its new sensors using the following procedure: (1) let the car sit stationary on its wheels (not lifted) for at least 20 minutes, then
test drive the car for at least 10 minutes at a continuous speed of 15 MPH or greater. During the
test drive, the TPMS dashboard light should go out.
