| Help trailer brake lights and turn signals not working I have an 06 silverado 2500 and all the lights on the vehicle are working. When I hook up my boat trailer the running lights work but not the turn signals or brake lights. I checked the fuses and they appear fine. The trailer wiring is all new and works fine when hooked to another truck. Any suggestions? |

If you are using an adaptor to change from the 7 pin plug to a 4 pin plug, check that out | |

| The trailer fuses are located in the panel on the driver side end of the dash, they are different from the truck tai/brakel light fuses.

| IMO I always start with the ground with anything electrical. A bad ground can cause so many weird problems. Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app

| Is the trailer light connection on the back of the truck live from the factory or do you have to do something to activate it?

| Yes all lights are alive from the factory. The 12 volt power at the plug may not be hot on some vehicles, but that is usually caused by GM using a dummy fuse and not a real fuse.

| I am having the same problem. My right brake/turnsignal on the trailer isn't working. The left is working just fine. I checked and replaced the fuse under the panel inside the driver side door and it still is not working. Any help would be a great appreciated. Sorry about hijacking the thread but it seems we are having a similar issue.

| I'm not sure if I'm going to give you a correct answer here but I owned a 2004 Chevy 2500hd and there is another fuse block under the hood left side near the brake fluid there I used to blow those fuses alot but all it takes is a little moisture try using a little connector grease from an auto store. Hope this helps |
