Trailer Wiring (excursion related). Ugg
 

Been doing battle with the truck and trailer. Rewired the complete trailer and the driver side for whatever reason doesnt work. I mean the kit is soooo plug and play and we followed it to the T, to the extent of pulling off the ground and ensuring its even grounded better.

The light itself works, ran power and it works fine.

I am guessing the issue has to be stemming from my truck.

So, i hope this help in my quest for working trailer lights. lol

Figured i had better start saving documentation so that when the time comes, i feel kinda prepared. lol

I fought with my wiring last year on the truck, I never really did figure it out, cleaned a bunch of connections and then it started to work again, not even hooking up the trailer just take a volt meter or test light to eliminate the trailer variable.

Ill include the wiring diagram for the F150.

I can say for certain that mine is NOT done correct, but I do have some lights. LOL

Likely need to take it to someone who knows what they are really doing. LOL

Rick, wish you were closer. I could wire it up for you. I don't use a schematic though, just a test light and meter.

Thats what i used to get as far as I could which was better than total fail when i started on it. :)

Move to Canada :sadwavey:
