Are you at fault if you were rear ended with no lights on a trailer and you cant see the lights on the truck even with a hazrad triangle on the trailer even with a hazard triangle?
The answer depends on your expectations and what the police decided to do in the actual situation. You are responsible to follow laws on brake and tail lights when you operate a motor vehicle. At the very least you would be ticketed for that. How can you think of blaming someone who could not see you at night? During the day, they were only able to guess if you were planning to turn, change lanes or stop.
If you were rear ended with just hazard triangle on your trailer who would be at fault?
Need more info. Daylight or dark? If dark, did reflectors or lights on the trailer (if you had any) meet DMV requirements for a moving vehicle? Moving or stopped? USUALLY it is the striking vehicle which gets charged in a rear-end collision investigation, but if the vehicle that was struck 'contributed' to the collision, then you could be charged.

In the fuse block, under the lefthand end of instrument panel, beneath a plastic panel fastened with two screws. This fuse is shared by the hazard system - check first if the hazard lights work, if they do the fuse is ok and the fault elsewhere (brake light switch possibly).

When you plug your boat trailer lights to your 2006 dodge ram the lights on the trailer will not come on if you use another truck the lights will work where do you look is it a fuse or a circuit break?
Based on experience with my own 2006 Dodge Ram 2500, your TIPM may have failed. In the infinite wisdom of Dodge Chrysler engineers and management, the year model 2006 and forward has a TIPM which controls the power circuites to the trailer harness - there are no fuses, only computer module. For reasons unknown except to profit the corporation and dealers, if there is a trailer fault the TIPM shuts off power to the effected trailer circuit, which then must be reset by the dealer. If the circuit shut out condition repeats more than 5 times, then the TIPM must be replaced (I was quoted $711). More information around the TIPM and SB's: http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2006/08-021-06.htm There is no information in the owners manual around the TIPM and how to protect it from trailer wiring faults. == == The trailer lights working on another vehicle suggests that the trailer wiring is all done correctly. You did not mention if the tail lights and turn signals on your Ram pick up are working, or not. IF your truck tail, brake, and turn signal lights operate properly, then there is nothing wrong THEIR FUSES OR CIRCUIT BREAKERS, leading to the conclusion that the problem is in the very short section of wiring harness which is is supposed to be properly wired into the tail light, break light, turn signal for your truck. None of the trailer lights working when plugged in, suggests that the ground wire in the harness is open/not connected. IF the trailer lights worked, but turned on the wrong lights when activated, would suggest that some of the wires were "crossed," miss routed. Again, the fact that none of the lights are working when plugged into your truck indicates that the short wiring harness between the light system on your truck to the connector plug is not connected properly, and probably has an "open" ground. As a mechanic at a Dodge dealer, Answer #2 is most likely.
