Default Right Hand Trailer Lights

Anyone have any idea of why only the right hand turn signal doesn't work on both the 4 flat and 7 round trailer receptacles on my truck? Right hand works on the truck. The fuses are good. '03 1500 QC 4x4

Sounds like a bad connection if the fuses are good.

bump for more answers.

did you put a meter to the receptacles? If it's dead, gotta be a bad wire I would think...

just to make sure you know that there are separate fuses for the truck lights and the trailer light

The 15 amp fuse for trailer right turn is good (#46 I think).

The right hand turn signal for trailer does not work (both 4 flat and 7 pin round), but the right hand turn on the truck works.

I would test the trailer, either with another truck or put power to the pin on the right signal

Try this.. There are 2 green wires in the loom behind the trailer plugs. One is a solid dark green and the other is smaller solid light green wire. You will want to test light probe the light green wire. This is your Trailer right turn. If it doesnt illuminate the test light probe. you may have a broken wire.

For a last resort to get a right turn on the trailer, You may have to splice into the trucks right turn and run a wire from it to the trailers right turn wire for it to work. You might want to put an inline fuse so it will not harm your trucks right turn signal.
