Connected the trailer to the F250's electrical plug on the hitch - lights, etc. worked. LIGHT CAME ON, what about the battery disconnect in the pass through storage. YEP, it was off - turned it on and "let there be 12V lights".
Sat down and had a beer - lesson learned the hard way but a lesson was learned.

I just went through this same process only when I flipped my disconnect back and forth nothing happened so I assumed the switch was good but I had a problem elsewhere and I had checked "everything"...or so I thought. Posted here and everyone pretty much had the same thoughts that I had had. When it became obvious to me that it HAD to be the disconnect I removed it and put a meter on it. Sure enough it wasn't working. Flipped it back and forth, wiggled it and poof! it started passing power. Now I have a new one sitting here waiting for the trailer to come back from the shop so I can replace it
