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

2004 Silverado with factory tow package, 7-pin connector. The 12v pin is not supplying any power. I'm pretty sure it worked before, charging up my trailer battery. All other pins work fine. I imagine it's protected by a fuse, so that's what I'd check first. But none of the fuse descriptions in the manual or in the fuse boxes seem to apply. I've pulled all the high-amp fuses and all look good. Is there such a fuse? If not, what else should I check? The connector into the "fuse box" (really a connector box) under the steering column seems tight. If I knew which lead should be hot, I could check for 12v there. Any other connectors along the route to the bumper that I should check? Thanks.
