My boat trailer and hauling trailer tail lights do not come on when hooked up to my 2004 HD 1500 siverado crew cab , tried other vehicles and they work, not sure if there is a certain fuse or the connection plug is bad. please help
I have this same problem with my truck. The U haul guys and I tried and tested every scenario, leaving out hard wiring behind the plug (where the adapter goes). I haven't tried it as I don't ever pull anything, however it can't to too hard to do.

I would try hooking the trailer up to another vehicle and see if everything works right if everything works on the trailer I would start testing the trailer plug on your truck could be a wire has broken.
the tail lights are the same bulb but they use a different filament in the bulb.you may need to replace the bulbs.another possibility is there maybe a problem with the wiring for the tail lights between the socket and the area where the trailer wiring is connected to the truck wiring.try the bulbs first,you just have to try one first to see it it works or not then you will know what to do next.
if they camper was wired for an older/other make of truck it might be different check to see if the yellow(left side turn/brake) wire maybe connected or crossed with the green(right turn/brake) wire,also see if the plug in wiring under the rear bumper is a stock plug in or if some one tried to go cheap and use"scotch-locks" on the tail light wires and crossed something under there,the parts store sells a plug in tester for your truck's particular plug that will tell you if the truck has the issue or if it's the camper,also check the ground,hope this helps,and good luck
First try rotating the tires to the rear. Does it go away? If you apply the brakes does it pull to the left? Could be a draging caliper or the slides may be hanging up.
Most likely it is the relay which is built into the turn switch. Turn switch will have to be replaced. It is also good idea to replace the flasher as well. Make sure both bulbs are new.
