Need help with connecting toad light

We have a 2006 Newmar Kountry Star diesel pusher. We are on a trip, disconnected the toad from the coach at night. When we went to connect the lights to toad NOTHING but running lights. We have circuit tested at back pigtail coming FROM coach, and there is no power on left/right turn lights or brakes. This suggests a fuse, but, after combing thru manual we can find nothing. Can anyone help me with this?

Don.....When we bought our new 2014, (may not be the same as yours) I started finding fuses in different places. They were not as centrally located as my previous coach. On mine, I found the fuses for the turn signals in a box near the chassis batteries.

If RV turn and brake lights still work, it suggests separate fuses for trailer hook up. Try to trace wires back from the trailer pigtail and see if it leads to a fuse box.

May not be the same as yours, but my fuses for the trailer plug are in the compartment just behind the right rear wheels. There in a black box, you have to pop the lid open on the box, then you'll see the fuses.

It would help to know what chassis you have.

On my KSDP there are fuses in the Bargman box in the compartment just behind the right rear wheel. The cover (when snapped off) has the fuse labeling information.

Have a nice day - Darrel

My KS fuses are located in the bay directly behind the right rear duallly. I suspect yours are there too.

I just had the same problem with my 2006 DSDP. Fuse is in a fuse holder attached to the chassis battery. On my coach there are two fuse holders in that location. I have a Spartan chassis.
Let us know your results. (It took 7 hours of professional help and 3 calls to Spartan to isolate fuse location)
GOOD LUCK!!
