Troubleshooting Right Side Trailer Lights Not Working When Connected To 2017 Ram Truck

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you have either a shorted wire on your trailer or possibly the right side may have blown a fuse on your 2017 Ram. You can use a Test Light # PTW2993 to check for power on your 4-way or 7-way connection from your Ram. I have linked images below showing the position of the wiring terminals so you know where to check. If you do not have power check your engine compartment fuse panel for any damaged fuses.
If your connector is working you will then use the test light to follow the right side wiring down your trailer to determine where you lose power. Once you find out where you lose power you can repair the damaged wiring.
