I don't know if this will help you, but the running gear and running lights are supposed to be wired to the same schematic.

Jim, gave you everything needed, Thats what I was going to give you, just for info, If you blow a fuse, they will be found in the engine area, fuses inside your truck are for your truck, good luck

Rich,

Good point.

I found out by chance that I had blown the 12V power supply fuse, when I did my brake upgrade. I have absolutley no idea when it blew, because the batteries stay charged with the solar and 12V works on the camper side. Do the pin pull on the brake away switch and the brakes lockup.

The only reason I found it is the hydraulic brake actuator requires a constant 12V power source from the TV. I spent an hour going through my electrical connections to make sure I had them right. After everything checked out I gave up and phoned the tech support line. Two minutes and the problem was diagnosed.

Of course the blown fuse was one of those square jobs that I thought was a mini circuit breakers and you can't see any signs of it being burnt out. New tick box on my pre-trip checklist.

I looked at those schematics some sort of matched. I ended up finding a trouble light in my tool box I forgot I had and figured it out other than one wire left over that didn't respond to anything Break Turn or Tail so both equal bright too

One wire is for your back-up lights, most trailers don't have back-up lights, but some do, so the added wire

That will be it if it's a purpile wire.

Bad ground wires are always fun to track down too. If you ever have your lights doing funny things check the ground wires for corrosion.
