Trailer Lights Work on Other Vehicles but Not Mine

IF 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.
