    You could disconnect it, there is a connection a foot or so back from the trailer plug. See what happens then.

    Did disconnect the plug from the harness and still the same thing. Upon moving wires entering plug lights came on . Is that cause wrong wiring when I replaced the plug??

    Stuff is shorting out at the damaged end and you might have blown a few fuses.

    Unplug at BE1 and check for continuity between pins for a short.

    BTDT. My wife and I were in Colorado in 2011 and tried some of the trails near Ouray. We thought about renting a Jeep. I tore mine off on the trail and had a tire go bad the next day. I'm pretty sure it was damaged on the trail. Would'a been cheaper to have rented a Jeep for the day.

    Ok I’ve unplugged the trailer plug vehicle side tested for continuity and all good. I’ve got power going into plug socket but still no blinker or reverse. Testing wires before connection of trailer plug and still only get power coming. Don’t really know where to check next???????

    Are you sure the 10a IG #1 fuse is good?
    It’s common between the 3.
