Landing Gear on Trailer Being Towed by 2004 Dodge Dually not Working
Question:
I can no longer raise and lower landing gear pads on rvs. It acts like a blown fuse but I cant find one. I have a 2004 dodge dually with a seven way plug. All other lights and turn signals work.

Expert Reply:
The landing gear can be powered by the 12-volt circuit on the trailer connector, by the battery on the trailer, or by both.
The fuse would certainly be the easiest thing to check. The fuses for your towing circuits are protected by fuses that are usually located under the hood. Your owner's manual should be able to give you more specifics regarding which fuse to check and its location.
If the fuse checks out, use a circuit tester such as part # PTW2993 to see if the motor is getting power.
