Default 1999 f150 trailer brake lights and turn signal don't work.

I have checked fuses and changed fuses and nothing seems to work. My running lights do work on the trailer with my headlights on.

There are fuses under the hood that are specific to each function, fuse for right turn, fuse for left turn, ect. Did you check those fuses under the hood?

Check your trailer plug. I found mine liked to rust up on me once and while so I would have to clean up the tabs on the plug every so often. Now I try to remember to spray it with WD40 to keep the rust out.

Is your steering wheel tilted in a low position, I had similar problems and couldn't figure it out for longest. If it is, tilt it back up

Oops was driving and misread the thread my bad
