Chevy silverado lost trailer running lights - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Have a 2003 Silverado 2500 PU and I was hooking up the trailer last night. I lost the trailer running lights. It seems that I lost power to the plug at the hitch. I looked at the fuse panel and cant tell which is for the running lights. I found the trailer stop and turn fuses. I see I dont have power to the constant + pin on the plug also.

Ideas?

Fuse panel under the hood. On my 01 it is the left front corner if facing the fender. I had this happen got the test light out , and all . Looked like a retard never thought to check the fuses. Yeah sure enough that's what it was.

found the engine bay panel but couldnt read so well last night. Didnt realize that the rest of the fuses for the trailer are in the second panel. Blew the fuse, replaced and Im on the road again

Yeah those stupid fuses had me going for days. I was like WTF . Then realized they were not the normal fuses , and there was separate for the trailer. Glad you got it goin.

Say Rusty Bucket, got a Q for you.

The constant pin on the 7 pin connector on the truck plug. I dont seem to have power to it. I want to use it to keep the trailer winch battery charged and a 12V outlet on the trailer.

Where is the fuse for it and/or what would it say on the panel cover

In the '03s, the factory decided to save money and not supply that fuse. IIRC, '04 and newer comes already installed. You just have to install a fuse in the slot and you'll get +12v on the pin. It will be faster for you to look at the diagram than for me to type an accurate description...

what would it be labeled as in the under the hood panel

Found out that its the Stud #1 slot under the hood panel, that will make it hot
