Check the ground on the trailer..and then check ur hitch and ball..i bought a new ball last night and the lights didnt work until the ball got a little wear on it.
poor ground wire
Trailer Lights Work on Other Vehicles but Not MineIF the lights [tail, turn, and brake] are working on your vehicle, AND the trailer lights will work on some other vehicle, that confirms:That the problem is NOT in your vehicle's wiring system.That the problem is either in the trailer wiring, OR is caused by the IMPROPER connection of the connector plug wires to the wiring of your vehicle.It is critical that the connector plugs [on the vehicle and the trailer] are properly connected to the correct wires.The fact that NONE of the lights work when connected to your truck suggests that the defect is related to the GROUND wireas that is the only wire common to all the different light circuits.
There are separate fuses for trailer signal lights in main fuse panel
Check your fuses and look for a dead-short on the tail light wire (probably brown).
check for power at the trailer connector.
there may be a short get longer wires
Check for a bad ground
I would check the running lights for one with a short. I had the same sort of thing with my trailer and I spent way to much time troubleshooting the brake and signal wires. Turns out a running light bulb connector was grounding out on the trailer and messing it all up.
If the Avalanche came with the factory trailering package, the trailer lights are separately fused from the other truck lights. Check your fuse panel layout for a 10-amp fuse for left side and a separate fuse for right side turn signal/brake light on the trailer.
Yes. You need a converter to combine the turn signals with the brake lights.
check the ground wire on the trailer. if it is corroded at all they may not work. take a file to where the ground wire is hooked up to make sure it is on bare metal
I have no running lights on my 2006 Peterbilt 387 all of the lights work
