Troubleshooting Turn Signals Not Functioning Properly on a 2000 Chevy Silverado
Question:
All the lights on the rear of my pickup work perfectly and all my trailer lights have worked perfectly. Now my right turn/brake trailer light does not work. Ive traced it back to the pickup side of the 7 pin connector and there is no 12v to the dark green wire when the right turn indicator is on. My truck has a tow package with a connector box above and behind the spare tire, could the problem be there? Like I said everything else works perfectly.

Expert Reply:
Chevy trucks seem to blow trailer wiring fuses pretty easily so that would lead me to believe that the issue you are having is most likely a blown fuse in the fuse box of your truck. Check the legend for towing related fuses and replace as necessary.
You can also try hitting the pin on your 7-way with some fine grit sandpaper just in case the problem is corrosion related.
