Right side trailer light inop

chopperman1 · May 26, 2016

Hey all,
Having an issue with my right trailer directional. Works fine on the truck but no output (with test light as well) at either the 4 pin or 7 pin connector. Can't find any fuses or relays for it, internet searches coming up empty. Anyone got any idea on what to check? It's a 2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn.
Thanks!

It's probably a harness connection behind the bumper, where the plugs wire in..

on my 2500 the fuses were under the hood, driver side fender. would take a look at your trailer wiring too... that fuse would have blown for a reason!

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I've looked like crazy, can't find any reference to any other fuses or relays for the trailer directional. There are 3 I found related to trailer, J01 40A Trailer Tow, J02 30A Electric Brake and J14 20A Trailer Tow Lamps/Park Lamps. All fuses good. I checked the connector where it goes thru the bumper as well, no power there either. The trailer wiring is good, works fine on my Durango. Does anyone know if there is a separate flasher in the 1500's and if so, where it might be located?
Thanks!

Might need a dealer to see if the circuit for that has been tripped, that needs an internal reset.
Happened on my 06 1500, shorted it out in error, dealer needed to reset it in the TIPM.

I had a similar problem with my new travel trailer and losing turn signals and brakes on the left side. For some reason the trailer is fused under the hood and there is a 20 AMP micro 2 fuse for both the left and right sides. Look at fuses F53 and F81. Those are both fuses for the left and right rear signals and brakes for your trailer. I had to orderly fuses from Amazon because I could not find the locally.

I don't have any "F" series fuses, mine are J's and M's, none go up as high as 53 or 81 either. Only fuses I can find in my truck are the ones under the hood in the TPIM. Perhaps a 2015 is different than a 2011? Thanks!
