check the fuse and make test for power at the fan

If you had all lights working one day and the next day you had a problem with out doing anything I would first check for a grounding problem. Easy way to fix you problem is to start by reversing everything you did for in prepping for your trailer . Put it all back the way it was and see if all lights work if so and you still want trailer lights then start fresh and connect one at a time . Most trailer wiring color systems are universal meaning they are all the same and depending on the age of the vehicle it is quite easy to install. If you have a newer vehicle (within approx 10 years) you will find that you can buy a "T" connector and it will plug right into a connection at the rear light assembly or a junction connecting left and right side. You can pick up a "T" connector at most automotive stores like Canadian Tire or Lordco . Try this first if you still need assistance i can walk you thru your trouble shoot and re-connection . Good Luck

Indicates transmission fault, have codes pulled to identify fault

It sounds like your over-drive is going out. Have you serviced the transmission lately? I would highly recommend also having the gov. pressure solenoid screen cleaned and as with most all Dodges, I recommend installing a inline filter in the pressure line going to the cooler. It will prolong the life of your transmission. It's not hard to do and most any parts store can order you 1, the small inline filter looks like a metal fuel filter, cut the metal line going to the cooler, add some rubber trans. hose and filter. but only AFTER having your transmission serviced! Whoever services your transmission have them inspect the pan well, if you have a lot of metal in the pan, you will more than likely be looking at replacing your transmission in the very near future. Hope this helps.

Check the fuel pump fuse and relay, if it's OK, you have a bad fuel pump. About the no spark, could be many thingsIgnition coil, distributor (if so equipment) , main shaft position sensor, computer problemGood Luck

The computers on these trucks are not very junkyard swap able. You may have to order one online that is programmed for your truck. They will ask for the part number that is supposed to be in there, the VIN of the vehicle and the current odometer reading. Expect it to be in the $200~$300 range. Just Internet search dodge PCM, or JTEC. That's what Chrysler calls their vehicle computers.

sounds like the acuator on the axle isn't locking the axels together and allowing them to slip you can check it by removing the actuator and looking at the collar and splines on the shafts.

There can be many causes and it will not hurt to check the fuel pressure. A new fuel filter after adding Seafoam would also be a good idea. Give the car a few miles of driving at highway speeds before blaming the components for problems. You dejunked the fuel system in one big blob and it will take some time for the components to recalibrate.

Have your mechanic check the oil pressure with a pressure guage. A oil pressure sensor is the most possible cause, but please make sure of proper oil pressure to avoid engine damage.

most dodge have two fuse boxes 1 under the hood and 1 when you open the driver's door it should be on the side of the dash board near the pillar

The battery is probably weak and needs replaced soon. Either that or the crank bearings are worn and need replaced.
