Where would I begin to troubleshoot lack of right turn signal at trailer plug?

  • Anonymous Feb 12, 2010

    It is factory installed. I thought I could "tap" into tail light wires, but I cannot locate the wiring harness to the tail lights. Any ideas?

Factory installed or after market.
Most of the SUV's, the trailer lead drops back to a splice in plug.
I would start there, and work my way forward
Do both turn signals work in the back of the truck?

  • Bill Eager Feb 13, 2010

    You would have to drop the light to get to the wires.

    Lets start at the begining

    How maney wires?

    Colors please

    Do you have one that is bigger then the rest

    Green and yellow should be left and or right turn.

    Brown should be running lights

    Then if factory install there should be ground and brakes, and a power lead.

No power on trailer plug for lt signal on a 2500 hd gmc

get the standard wiring design
http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/wiring-diagrams
Yellow is the left turn signal on pin 2
Check trailer plug and see if correct colors used on trailer plug
Would suggest getting a 12volt probe so you can test the car socket when left indicator is going on - flashing
To check that the correct pin has 12volts flashing left on it.

Right trailer turn signal does not work when hooked up to my 2003 gmc sierra. The light does work on the truck. Trailer light does work when hooked up with my other vehicles.

Check the plug at your gmc outlet, your right signal wire has been damaged before the plug somewhere. If you have a test light switch your right signal on and make sure it is working at the plug on your gmc, you will find it is not working, than trace the wire back from the plug till you find where it has been damaged or you can run a wire straight from plug to your right signal.

2004 Chevy silverado 1500. Brake and turn ok on truck, but right brake voltage not getting to trailer plug. right turn signal works at trailer plug.

The flasher module sends voltage for the trailer brake and turn signal on the same circuit. If you have right turn signal than we now that the fuse and wiring are good which leaves the module.

Do you get the same result if you turn on the four way flasher?

The module is located under the drivers side of the dash. You will need to remove the trim panels to gain access.

I can give you more info if you need it.

2003 Chevy HD trailer wiring problem

I have the exact same issue. I have also tested my trailer on other vehicles and it works fine. I even purchased a light up tester and found the problem at the harness. It seems like a bad ground to me but I can't seem to find one.

The trailer lights have a common brake/turn wire while the truck has seperate turn and brake lights. I think the problem lies with the device that marries the two for the trailer wiring but I don't know where to find it?

LEFT TRAILER TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK

I have seen once before that the fuse box was bad on a 2003 Dodge 3500. I had power in and nothing out. We had to replace the box. Not cheap! Hope it is simple like a loose connection though. I think I had to pull the inner fender on the drivers side to access the bottom of the fuse box. Pain in the ****, but...

LEFT TRAILER TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK

I'd get a 12vdc test light if you don't have one already & start from plug, and keep probing back from there. It may be as simple as a bad connection under truck where joined into harness.

Trailer Lighting Kit

Do u have a 4,5,6,or 7 way (wire) system? If it's 4 way it allows basic hookup for 3 lighting functions:
GREEN is right turn signal and stop light, YELLOW is left turn signal and stop light, BROWN is license, and side marker lights, WHITE is ground.

5way is same as above, but adds a BLUE wire for brake signal or aux. power. Its used on pop up campers, utility and boat trailers.

6way (rectangle plug) green=right turn signal, yellow=left turn signal, brown=taillight, white=ground, red and blue can be used for brake control or auxilary. Used on small motorcycle trailers, snowmobile trailers, utility trailers.

6way Round Plug, same as above, but blue is electric brakes, and black (sometimes red,) 12v; note:sometimes red/black need to be reversed w/ blue to suit the trailer.

7way adds an additional pin at plug in for 12volt power or back up lights. Whoa! hope that answers your question w/out confusing u. Let me know if u need more info.
