    trailer wiring diagram. issues

    Also, take a test light and make sure your truck is wired right. especially if it's an aftermarket plug. We have a company with many trucks and trailers, and someone is always ripping out a plug, then not wiring it back correctly, or just getting what they need to work to get in..    Mike
