I tried hooking up one of those cool things in a trailer hitch that lights up. When i hit the break, it didnt work. Any ideas?

 

Can you clarify what you are trying to say?

 

Its a thing that goes into the trailer hitch and has a ram symbol on it, so if you hook it up to the trailor hitch and hit the brakes the ram lights up, but its not lighting up..

 

Did you check your wiring?

Oh. Put a volt meter on the pins to see if you are even getting voltage at the hitch.

 

I know the wiring on the ram thing is fine itself. And how would i make voltage go back to it?

 

...

Obviously the wiring on the truck is not fine if you have no voltage going to the accessory.

Get out a multimeter and start checking it at various points.

 

Hmm. I dont have a multimeter. Where would I get one?

 

Auto part store. Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, etc...

I paid $3 for a 4way tester you can get them anywhere. It lights up to tell you what is working and what isn't. There are many possible problems the first one I check when light don't work, I tow a duck boat a lot, is the fuses those things go like crazy.
