My trailer running lights do not work. Left turn, right turn, and brake lights all work. Also, my 12 V auxiliary power point is not working. Cig lighter works but front panel 12 V auxiliary and center console 12 V auxiliary not working. Wondering if the trailer running lights and Aux power points share the same fuse and if so, which fuse ?

There should be a fusible link somewhere in the wiring. That should be where the problem is at.

All 3 are on separate fuses.
Cab fuse panel ( passenger side kick panel, by the fuel inertia switch ) :
Instrument panel power point : Fuse # 39
Rear Power point : Fuse #37
Cigar lighter : Fuse # 41
If you did not get an owners manual with your truck ( purchased used ), you can download one from Ford :

Have a shop test the lighter plug and see if it has power and ground. If it does, whatever you have used in the lighter socket may be bad, usually there is a fuse inside the plug.

Did you check the fuse for the trailer tow adapter paring lamps ? This is a separate fuse powered by a relay, it is not the same circuit as the truck's parking lamps.
This is fuse # F10 & The half size ISO relay, R201 in the fuse panel in the passenger side kick panel.
This is based upon being a new body style 2004, not the 2004 Heritage or Lightning models, those are different fuse & relay locations.

It sounds like your green and yello wires are shorted together somewhere along the length of the harness. I would check the wires on the trailer first. Easier yet, if you have another trailer to connec or access to another to use for testing, connect to it and see if the problem repeats; if it does the trouble is in the vehicle's wiring.
