    Silverado vs F150 Towing Issue

    Just went from a Silverado to a F150 for towing my ride. Has anyone had a issue with there running lights not working after the switch from a Chevy to a Ford? Both trucks have the round plug. I have tried multiple types of round plugs. The wiring is currently a 5 flat going to a round plug. This has me stumped. Time for the test light. Any suggestions?

    Put a meter on the F150 outlet to see if you have power. could be a fuse somewhere.

    I have power at the outlet. The turn signals and brake lights work. I even have back-up lights. I am just missing running lights.

    Running lights are on there own fuse. Probably your issue.

    Yep

    YES! I have a 2016 F-150 (came from a 2014 Tundra)......and I blew the running light fuse. It's under the hood - check your manual for location and I'm willing to bet that's what it is. I thought it was my trailer and it drove me nuts.....till I checked the fuse. I bought a couple extra just to have on hand too.
