wiring 12v power to 7pin connector help
have a 95 ram w/ a 7 way trailer connector At the end of last season everything worked great. All lights, brakes, etc. work but I now have no 12v power going into connector truck side. My question is would there be a fuse somewhere along that line that I cant find? once it leaves the rear of truck i can fallow it down frame and then lose it somewhere around driver side front. And say if there is no fuse should there be one? can i cut the wire where i lose it and wire it to the pos. battery? any help would be great

this may be different for yours, but im my '01 i have 2 fuses, 1 that is in the pdc under the hood, and one to the right of the master cylinder behind the pdc. the one in the pdc is a 40a and the one behind the pdc is a 20a. the 20a supplies the 12 volt power, the 40a supplies the power for the entire brake controller setup.

thanks for the time and the photos. Yes that is the fuse that im looking for. does that come stock from dodge or could it be added by the original owner? dumb question cause anyone could add it. I couldnt imagine snow catching that wire and pulling it out of engine compartment. I just dont see it being riped out of engine compartment. It had to be run by previous owner... some people just shouldnt rig things. thank you again for the pics. I thought i was losing my mind

im gonna say thats a factory run wire, or it was professionaly installed wire. im not sure because it was there when i bought the truck. it has the factory tow package, so im almost positive its factory. truck also had a brake controller when i bought it. i have moved it and rewired it a couple times. i have also rewired the 7 way round twice, first time was because the original was corroded, and the 2nd time was because someone decided to be a douche and steal my 7 way and about 6 inches of the harness it plugs into. so im the guy to go to for trailer wiring issues....lol
