    Brake & Turn Light issue

    I've got tail lights & side marker lights but no brake or turnsignal lights on my 2006 Stratos trailer. the back-up lights work fine also. Where do I start looking for problems? In the plug or in the wiring?

    I'd start with the fuse box under the hood of your truck.

    That's the first place I'd look after determining that you do NOT have power to the green & yellow wires of the plug on your truck. If you have power to those wires of the plug at the rear bumper of your truck, your problem is in the trailer.

    Good Luck.

    But you have to bend over or squat down to check that That's why I'd look in the fuse box first--easier on the knees.

    That looks like a handy little toy to keep in the toolbox. It might save my knees AND belly too.

    Yup - mine lives in the rear storage compartment of my SUV, along with a spare 7-pin round to 4-flat adapter!
