Default Trailer lights

Hey guys. Whenever I hookup any of my trailers to my 06 fx4, I never have a right side blinker, running light, or even brake light on any of my 3 trailers. I just replaced all the lights on my jetski trailer to rule that problem out and still no fix! It's a 4-way flat. My truck has a 4 way flat and a 7 round. I went out and got a 4 flat to 7 round adapter this morning to see if that would work and still nothing! It's a factory installed hitch. I bought the truck used in April. On my old truck the lights worked fine. Any ideas? Any fuses to check?

Why dont you splice into the right side blinker wire and direct wire that to the plug, just use a test light on right side connector to see which wire it is just keep your signal blinking untill you id the right wire then splice that wire and run a wire to your 7 way plug. Its the green wire on my 7 way but may be diff on yours (it should be the 9'oclock connector) i hope that makes sense.

There should be fuses for the trailer relays and what not under the hood. Look at your owners manual.

I found the fuse. It's not broken but the poles look black. Hmmm. I'm going to replace it and we'll see...

Sounds to me like there is a loose power wire or a bad solder job, y not just splice and run new wires from your main rear light connection if changing the relay doesnt work it would take maybe 1 hour to do.
