Hello Everyone, this is my first post and I'd like to start out by saying this is a great site. Here's my problem. I just finished wiring my semi-homemade car trailer only to find that the socket on my truck had no running (tail) lights. After I checked the basics I pulled the 7 way RV plug off. Checked for loose connections broken terminals etc. and all looked good. So I followed the factory looking harness from the socket under the truck. Here's what I found the harness goes into 2 factory plugs, there is another factory plug going to my LH taillight, and there is a 4 pronged male plug next to all of these plugs that isn't connected to anything. So far I have left the one that goes to my tail light connected because the taillights work fine. But the plug that wasn't connected has one hot terminal when I turn on my headlights (tail lights). I also noticed that my running lights on my dually fenders aren't getting power. Now in the center of the bed, on the harness that goes from left to right there is a female plug that looks like it could plug into the disconnected male that is with the previously mentioned connections. Only problem is there is no way to make them reach, I tried to jump them but nothing happened. The only thing that looks out of place under there is one lone wire that comes out of the taillight harness (that runs the width of the bed) that has those blue scotchloks (taps) to power the license plate lights. Has anyone come across any problems like that? Hope you can help.
