Hooked up the Kar Kaddy only to find out there is NO power at the trailer plug. (04 W22) Turn signals, marker lights and all work on the coach but nothing at the plug. I wouldn't suspect it to be a fuse since all else works. Am I just missing something?? Help Please!!!!

Took rear receptacle apart and rewired it for now. Still not correct. Have brake lights, turn signals and hazards but no running lights except for the three in the center of the trailer. Not much good as they can't be seen when the car is loaded. Should be alright for now as we don't plan for any night driving. Was fun determinig what wire was ground as I had four white wires and one green and NO the green was not the ground.

I see you found your problem (Plug mis-wired) Suspect the chassis end of the ground (Often white but no guarantee) wire.

NOTE: Just because the coach lights work, does not mean you have not popped a fuse... Many coaches (I do not know how many) have separate fuses for the coach and towed leads as well as relays that activate the towed lights.


I pulled into a CG the other day and was told I had no lights on the towed... Checked and of the 4 leads in my flat 4 connector.. I fixes SEVEN broken wires.
