2003 Tahoe Trailer Lights Not Working - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I have been towing my samurai around with a 2003 Tahoe, and i noticed that my right turn signal no longer works.
The tahoe has the big connector with two prongs in the center, and prongs all the way around it in a 1.5 inch diameter circle. I tested the right signal/brake with a probe, and it doesnt work.

I was going to mess around with the wiring harness underneath, but it looks like it is going to be a pain. Would anyone happen to know what color wire the Right signal/brake is?

Thanks!

By the way, i also noticed this same problem with a friend on an 05 cummins dodge. Is this a common occurence for the right prong to fail?

Do the lights work on the Tahoe but not the trailer?

GM put in a seperate fuse block for the trailer stuff. Same thing happened on my 00 Silverado.

Lights on truck work good.

I will check the fusebox under the hood. Is that a total of 3 fuse boxes in this truck now!!
I will let you know if that solves the problem.

Yep check your underhood fuses, I'll bet your Left turn trailer fuse is blown, then check your trailer wiring to see why it blew.
