Default Couple Different Questions

1. When towing a trailer I don't have any lights on the trailer while the lights are on. The turn signals work, and the break lights work. But not the running lights? I have narrowed it down to the truck side, but have no idea where to start looking? Any ideas?

2. Last Sunday (labor day weekend) my driver's side front door window fell of track. At a gas station at 4:30 Am heading to the boat ramp 😠 I took the door panel apart and got it back in the groove, but now it won't stay in the groove. Is there some kind of adhesive glue or something I can use to make it stay in the little groove affectively?

Thanks all for any help!

Funky trailer wiring is almost always a bad ground.

I have ready run every inch of wire on the trailer and can't find a bad ground anywhere and have been through most of the truck side any idea where it should be grounded on the truck side?

You have a fuse for each function. There's a fuse for right turn signal, a fuse for left turn signal, a fuse for brake lights and a fuse for running lights. Start there.

If it was a ground nothing would work. I'd check the trailer fuse box under the hood. By the firewall and inner fender on the driverside. Has room for 5-6 fuses. Most likely the problem is a blown fuse for the running lights.

two possibilities, and don't take this for gospel but I'm pretty sure there's a few bolts that keep everything lined up and working (besides the mounting bolts) maybe see if there is a loose bolt down at the bottom of the door or still attached somewhere. Make sure the guides don't have a lot of wiggle room and they don't "stick" anywhere
