Would Interior Trailer Lights Be Powered By The 7-Way Connection
Question:
I recently purchased a new snowmobile trailer and Im trying to get the cargo lights inside the trailer to work? all other lights on the trailer work blinkers, running, brake and tail lights. Is there a special fuse for the lights inside the trailer/ I am assuming the powere comes through the wiring harness? Thanks any help is greatly appreciated,

Expert Reply:
The lights inside of the trailer most likely run to a trailer battery and aren't getting power from the 7-way connection to the tow vehicle. To confirm you'll need to unmount the light and trace the wires back to their source. There would only be a fuse for these lights in the trailer's DC distribution panel and not in the tow vehicle.
