11' Fuzion 360

Came home tonight and noticed the trailer running lights were out (side and top) The brake and turn were still working.

When I looked closer, noticed one running / marker light on the passengers side was very dim and barely noticable

Does anyone now where I might find the ground lugs or connectors for the trailer running lights?

Not sure what you tow with, but the newer Fords with factory towing package have fuses for running lights in the fuse box under the hood. You might want to doublecheck there. Should be a small yellow 20Amp fuse.

When you say brake and turn were working, how about the tail light that’s on with the headlights? If that’s out, then it definitely is an issue with the running lights circuit. Now’s a good time to own a multimeter so you can start testing the pins on your trailer/truck connector.

Howdy All;

Don't need the multi-meter... a 12 vdc test light will work just fine to see if you have power to the proper sections of the truck's side of the connection
or get a flasher unit like was talked about in another section hereand plug it stright into the trailer (female), plug while you have 120 vac pluged into trailer
will make the 'running lights' flash ... kinda purdy in it's own way...

12' f350 dually 6.7 Litre. Factory tow. Found 30 amp maxi_fuse in under hood distribution panel #26 blown, but think it blew when I was playing with "in the bed" 7 pin.
Replaced and all lights except rear 2 running lights on each side are on, but noticed that the yellow ones mid-camper are VERY dim. Rear red ones on each side do not come on at any time. Turn, brake and reverse are all ok.

Called keystone today, they say grounds are "clip" type. Clip to rails? emailed me a bargman wire diagram but it is very crude and for 5th wheel and trailer

Was hoping to have someone that might now where grounds were.

Recent refueling station repair under warranty was inspected. Found black aluminum side skirting was reattached under fuel hose area and they pinched running light wires.
White with green wire pinched with 1/4" sheet metal screw and washer
