12V + not working

When I installed my 5th wheel hitch, the kid at the shop hooked u his test box and told me there was no 12V power. It ends up that as you start the truck with the trailer plugged in, your foot must be on the brake before the battery breaker relay sends power to the trailer.

Second Option, trailer hooked up, plugged in, truck running in park and apply the brake. I found this all out after accusing the dealer of not installing my fuses and relays. While standing at the parts counter I did a search on my phone and found the answer on another forum searching for "F150 battery breaker relay". It was a 2015 post.

I do not know which connector you are using but I do not think that the flat connector will charge a battery where the round one will.
I had this same problem and even though I have the trailer package the fuse and relay that allows power to flow to the trailer were not installed. To fix it I stole the relay from the passenger power seat circuit (an option that I do not have) and the fuse from the rear window defog (another option that I do not have) and viola! it works. I may have gotten them the wrong way around but basically I stole parts from circuits that I was not using and put them where I needed them.
I have never done anything special in order to 'activate' the 12 volt to the trailer. I just plug it in and it works.

As noted in the thread, for the newest models you must step on the brake pedal to activate the 12 volt circuit.
