Toad/Trailer plug problem
2011 Revolution, I have all the lights in the toad working properly with the exception of the right turn and stop light. No power at the plug at the rear of the MH for the turn and stop. Looked for any possible fuses but could not find any that reference the rear trailer plug.
I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look.
Thanks
Ron K.

It's probably not a fuse but rather the wire in the female plug on your MH is loose or defective

I blew a fuse in my 2010 journey and the additional chassis fuse panel was under the drivers side rear most panel. Remove a couple of screws and this panel lifts up to access the fuse panel.

I posted this exact problem about 3 weeks ago, except mine is a Bounder. Started with the right turn and brake and eventually nothing worked. Found a fuse blown.
Couple days later here we go again. Pulled the cable and reinstalled and presto everything worked. I am pretty sure it's my cord from the MH to the toad, or a loose plug,as it's happened a few more times.

On my 2002 Revolution I have fuses for the trailer plug located in the battery compartment near the battery control center. There are also relays that repeat the turn and brake signals.

Folks:
Thanks for the suggestions to solution...
I found the fuse box, if you want to call it that. Turns out it is in the last compartment, passenger side (along with the DEF, fuel filters, etc.) and is a round container about 6" in diameter. Has quite a few fuses and labeled very poorly. I checked all and found a 7.5 amp fuse open.
All is well now and I can blink right
Many thanks!
Ron K.

That's all fine and dandy but the real question is "why" did the fuse blow out? Either it was overloaded or a direct short circuit. Needs checking as modern fuses rarely just "give up" unless there's an outside force.

Lowry, you are absolutely correct, what I found prior to the fuse problem was a broken wire in the plug end of the harness causing it to short out and blowing the fuse. Installed a new 6 pin connector and all is good
