I have a 2004 chevy silverado and I'm having trouble with the wiring for my tow package. When I turn off my truck I am still getting power running to my park lights on the left side of the trailer, but not all the lights on the left light up just 3 on the left brake and two on the top brake light on the back of the trailer. Also I am having problems with the left blinker not working on the trailer off and on... I've replaced all the fuse under the hood and in the dash for the trailer and even for the truck.. I've replace the ground wire to the trailer and cleaned the ball to insure a good ground and nothing has worked.if anyone could help I would sure apprreciate it...

Replying to: swift1069 (Jan 05, 2007 8:16 pm) This test should tell you if the problem is in the truck wiring or the trailer wiring. The ground goes through the electrical connector and not the trailer ball. Some trailer wiring packages have a 12V supply wire that is hot all the time and is not tied to the ignition switch. Make sure you didn't hook the lighting into that supply wire by mistake. Sounds to me like you either have a bad connection or the wiring is incorrect.

Hi, I have a 2006 Silverado and have just installed the trailer brake wiring harness and my electric brake controller. My question is: when is it necessary to install the included fuse? I had been told on earlier Silverados that the fuse did not need to be installed. The tag on the pigtail makes it as clear as mud. I don't presently have an auxiliary battery, but what if I add one such as on a battery mounted on a trailer for a winch? Thanks
