    Trailer lights not working with new truck....

    Recently purchased a 2007 Tundra w/tow package. When I hitch the boat trailer up and connect the lights, all I'm getting is brake/turn signal.....no running lights. When I went back to the old truck ('95 Silverado), all the trailer lights work fine. Any ideas??

    P.S. Let's try to keep the "you should'a stayed with a Chevy" comments to a minimum...please? :)

    Interesting suggestion. I just hooked up my boat to my new 09 Escape with the factory tow package and had no trailer lights at all. Yet, they work fine on my 02 Escape. I did notice a chafed wire on my trailer harness and wondered if I blew a fuse on the 09. Unfortunately, the owners manual give me no advice as to what fuse(s) might be blown and they are not easy to reach. What a pain.

    Ditchdoc, you're a genius!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Sure enough, that itty bitty fuse was the cause of all my problems. You sure did save me a bunch of running around.

    Another perfect example of why I love BBC so much! TIGHT LINES!!!!
