I installed the wiring harness for the tow package and there is no current to the plug. Do I need to put a fuse in? If so, I have checked the fuse box diagrams and they do not match what I have in the vehicle. What fuse(s) do I need and what slots to they go in. I have F and K labeled slots. My owners manual is using M and J slots and does not match the pattern in the vehicle.

First of when troubleshooting, you need to measure for voltage not current. make sure your meter is set on dc volts, and measure from pin to ground. to measure current, you would have to put your meter in series with the circuit. you should read between 11 and 13 volts, but only when the signal/brake/running lights are on.

Fusebox layouts do tend to change from territory to territory though mostly the vehicle handbook diagrams are fairly accurate. It is the diagrams in the repair manuals that tend to be generic.

Sometimes it is necessary to fit fuses to vacant slots and hope for the best...
Usually nothing bad happens...

SOURCE: need wire diagram to hook up trailer lights, truck not factory equipped w/harness,

I'm assuming you're just going to splice into the tail light wiring so that's what these wire colors are:
at the tail lamp 3 way connector:
black and yellow = park lamp
dark green and brown = left turn signal
there should be another connector with violet and black wire for reverse lights.
the stop lights are turned on through the turn signal circuits.

My wiring harness for 2005 jeep liberty tow package has no power going to it help please

Check fuses and relays related to it first. If none are bad its most likely corroded wires from harness. Also check in the plug ends for corrosion and debris. Check wire harness to object being towed also.

Looking to put a hitch on my ram 1500(2001). Is the wiring harness the same as if i had a tow package on it?

the wiring harness is the econimical way to go about it; it serves the same function as if you had a tow package. But if you want the Dealer Tow package look, there are multible harnesses that you can just plug into the existing plug under your vehicle

No current to turn signal socket even after replacing flasher and fuse also new bulb and checked bulb socket for continuity. all good .no current on white and green wire coming from fuse box where flasher...

If you have the tow package wiring in the truck, check the wires around or behind the battery. The tow package harness is feed thru here and each wire has a fuable link that can go bad. Check for power on either side of the bulge in thw wire (this is the fuable link). If you find that this is the problem, you can cut out the fusable link and splice in an aftermarket in line fuse holder to maintain protection against shorts.

I have a tow package on my 04 durango but can't find the harness

Someone may have installed the hitch aftermarket but opted not to install the wiring harness. You might need to get a new harness.

Trailer wiring for 2005 Ford Escape without factory tow package

I had the sam problem with my '02 escape when I installed the hitch. I changed the turn signal relay under the dashboard on the drivers side of the dash with one from an escape that had a tow package(one was blue and the other was yellow...). worked fine for me after that. Don't know if it changed later...
