Hello all,
I have not quite found my exact problem on here yet, so If anyone knows a thread or site that can help me feel free to add it. I have looked a lot of places and cannot seem to find the answer. So here we go: I have a 2018 Ram 1500 and I cannot get the truck to work the trailer brakes. I have checked all the fuses that correspond with the trailer brake and they were all good. I also plugged my trailer into my dads Chevy and it works just fine. So I eliminated the trailer from the possible problems. When I plug the trailer into my truck the lights all work as they are supposed to, the only thing that will not work is the trailer brakes. So I also tested the brake prong on the inlet to the truck while someone was hitting the brakes and I am getting no power to that prong. The truck also will not even register there is a trailer connected. And like I said all the lights on the trailer will work just not the brakes. So I am fairly well stumped. I looked at the wires and they do not seem to have any nicks or shorts in them. Has anyone had this problem before? I might've forgot to mention that my truck is a Bighorn and has the integrated brake controller. Any help is appreciated I seem to be running out of ideas.
