    The running light on my boat trailer went out last weekend. The turn and stop lights are still working. I have checked the fuse box in the truck behind the compartment and the fuse box under the hood. But have not found any blown fuses. I have also checked the trailer with the wifes 4runner so I know the issue is with the truck. Anyone know where they may have put another fuse box I don't know about or something. I need to fix this ASAP going fishing saturday. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Likely corrosion at the 7pin plug, clean off contacts within the plug.

    I found an exposed wire on the trailer I did not heat shrink and it grounded out. Has to be a fuse or relay thing.

    Did you try electronics spray in your plug side? Is it factory wiring or aftermarket? On my 06 I added a hitch & wiring. It plugged in behind drivers tail light.
