it is under the hood on the driver side in the fuse box
The factory wiring harness for the trailers will plug in under the back of the vehicle in the area of the spare tire, the harness plugs into the wiring harness for the tail lights.
Probably the functions, running lights, reverse, brake, blinker, and a ground.
Yes, on a 2001 Tacoma it was a blown 5 amp fuse in the separate harness dedicated to the trailer lights. I did not realize Toyota Tacoma's came with a separate harness and fuse block just for the trailer lights/harness (this is separate from the under dash (#1) and under hood (#2). On a 2001 Tacoma , it located underneath the driver's side rear jump seat next to the factory tire jack.
If there is a trailer wiring harness on the vehicle for towing unplug harness under drivers side rear tail light to eliminate the trailer wiring that's probably the issue then plug factory wires together
Well, if wired trailer lights means:you wired a trailer/tow harness into your factory harness. There is only 2 answers that come to mind. 1. You've blown a fuse. 2. You wired your trailer/tow harness in wrong. So... If you possibly wired it in wrong, you'll need to start over again. The best place to start is to pull out the trailer/tow harness & put the Escape's harness back together like it was before you started. Then check all lights & fuse's. If all's well, this is the color code you'll need to use to hook-up your basic 4-wire trailer/tow harness. Key Code: The left side of the code is your trailer/tow harness. & the right side of the code is your escape's harness. YELLOW-to-YELLOW (pass. sd. stop-turn light) GREEN-to-GREEN (driver sd. stop-turn light) BROWN-to-BROWN (park/running lights) WHITE-to-WHITE/w-Black stripe (ground). This should git you happly towing in no time. (P.S. there should be a tow wire kit avalible for your escape. Call your ford dealer for the part no#. With the part no# you can git more cheaply elsewhere.)
Your local auto parts store can sell you a trailer plug harness that plugs into the vehicle's original harness that requires no cutting.
It is for the trailer running lights.
I'm not certain that the vehicle came factory-equipped with a trailer wiring harness. HOWEVER - if it does exist look CAREFULLY underneath the rear of the CR-V for the wiring to be tucked up and into the rear area somewhere, perhaps underneath the rear bumper housing.
Check your fuses and look for a dead-short on the tail light wire (probably brown).
Lights are required on a boat trailer to proven those from behind running into your boat trailer. This is especially important at dark where it is difficult to see an unlit trailer.
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.
Open the hood and look in the engine compartment. On the forward left side (as if you are looking forward from the steering wheel) there should be a fuse box. The cover should pry off with finger pressure. On the inside of the cover is a diagram of fuses. Look for a 15A fuse that says "Trailer running/clearance lights". Pull it out. If there is any discoloration or sign of burning, replace it. This should give you power to the trailer. If you have any other lights out on the trailer, check some of the other fuses. Turn/stop/ back up lights have fuses in this location.
