1995 Ford F350 having issues with marker lights and left turn when hooked to tow a trailer. Everything works on the truck when NOT pluged into the trailer, but when connection is made the only lights that work are the right turn, brake and trailer brake lights. The truck has a factory tow hitch and ALL lights worked just fine 2 days ago.

Check your ground. When weird gremlins happened that is often the case. Also it is absolutely essential when diagnosing trailer light issues to have a circuit tester (inexpensive voltmeter/ohmmeter from RadioShack) to check for current or shorts along the system.

If everything works when trailer is not connected it's gotta be in the truck plug or trailer
sounds like a ground was lost in the left trailer light

they do sell trailer wiring simulators (about 20 bucks) you plug em in the truck and it simulates trailer lights with little led's on it

No power to trailer turn signals and brake lights. everything else works.

make sure to check the wiring on the trailer and to make sure that there is no damage or loose wireson the hook ups themselves. the wres could have come loose on your truck where they hook into the hook up for the trailer wiring. if any wire has come loose or the ground wire for the lights have come off, they will not work.

I just rewired my 20'deckover trailer. I used good quality lcd's. I have the 7 and 4 pin plugs. everything works but the parking lights on both plugs. I have a 2006 f-150 extended cab. bought a test plug...

Did you check the fuse for the trailer tow adapter parking lamps ? This is a separate fuse from the truck's parking lamps.
Fuse #10 is the Trailer Tow parking lamps ( via the trailer tow parking lamp relay ) and this is the same fuse for the trailer tow reversing lamps ( via the trailer tow reversing lamp relay ).

If you did not get an owners manual with your truck ( purchased used ), you can download one from Ford :

Tow plug

I take it the blinkers and brake lights work ok when not hooked up to the trailer? If yes, then the wiring to the tow hitch is not hooked up correctly. How many wires to trailer pig tail connection? U can have up to 7 depending on what you tow. Check to make sure these wires are hooked up from the truck to tow plug correctly: 7 wired---
brown-Rt turn and brake light, yellow-backup, white-ground, blue-electric brake, green-tail running lights, black-battery charger, red-left turn signal and brake light. Let me know if u have something other than 7 wire, I'll get the wiring color and source info for u.
