Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, GM sometimes uses a red plug or dummy fuse in place of an actual fuse for the trailer battery charge circuit. I have attached a video on a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado that shows the red dummy fuse. You can move to the 2 minute and 20 second mark to see our installer replace the dummy fuse. You will want to replace the plug with a 40-amp fuse.
