Turn your headlights on and use a test light to check the harness on your vehicle to make sure you are getting power through the connection. If so, connect the trailer plug into your the trailer receptacle on your vehicle and cut probe through the correct wire after the harness. This will check to ensure you are getting fire through the conection. Always start at your vehicle and work to the trailer. If you are not getting power through the conection, check for a loose wire or replace connector... this is where you will find your problem more than likely. If you're getting power through your harness, you are loosing power between your plug and your lights. Probably a short in the wire. It will be easier to replace the wire instead of trying to locate the short. Good luck!!

How do I test the fuse for the trailer running lights on a 2005 Titan.

The trailer light are connected to you vehicles wiring. Turn brake running. If the tail light are on on your vehicle you start checking wiring. If the tail lamps do not work check fuses in vehicle. If the trailer is hooked up and the fuse blows again check trailer. If it blows agin without trailer check vehicle wiring.

I have purchased a wiring harness that plugs into the factory connections. I am able to get brake lights and turn signals. The running lights do not work, also when the running lights are on the brake...

Check this location. They have color codes and wiring diagrams. Make sure the trailer has a good ground. It MUST have the ground wire connected to the truck and trailer or you will have a floating ground through the ball. That will cause blown fuses. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx

Running trailer lights not working, but brake

Did you check the fuse for the trailer tow adapter paring lamps ? This is a separate fuse powered by a relay, it is not the same circuit as the truck's parking lamps.
This is fuse # F10 & The half size ISO relay, R201 in the fuse panel in the passenger side kick panel.
This is based upon being a new body style 2004, not the 2004 Heritage or Lightning models, those are different fuse & relay locations.

2001 f 150 extended cab. trailer lights were working. had to replace a trailer light uhit because it was broken. now lights do not work properly. running lights work. turn signal only works if running...

The description of the problem is very confusing. If the trailer is disconnected, do all of the functions work OK? If so the problem is with the trailer wires. If all worked before you replaced the light, then thats where the problem lies. The turn signal/brake lights are a seperate circuit than the running lights. The brown should be hot with running lights, and the yellow and green are the turn/brake signals. The trailer lights should be grounded to the trailer frame, and the frame connected to the white wire, Make sure the white wire is connected to the plug on the truck side and connected to the frame of the truck. The turn signal that works with only the running lights on doesnt make sense, and grounds are the most common item. Some Ford trucks have seperate fuses for right and left. There a small fuse box under the hood, near the brake booster.
