Hey everyone,
I have searched and not found a direct answer to this. As a bit of back story, all trailer lights and signals work when i bought the truck. About 2 years ago i had a rodent get in under the fuse blocks in the passenger wheel well and chew a bunch of wires causing everything to go nuts. The dealer found this and fixed the breaks and taped everything up. I then found more issues which i fixed which were directly under the fuse boxes which are a major pain to move and i could barely get enough room to solder.
Since that time the passenger trailer signal does not work. I have running lights, break lights and a driver signal. I check for power from the signal all the way to where the work was done in the wheel well and there is nothing. I am thinking that is is somewhere in those mess of wires that are tucked up and very hard to reach under the fuse blocks. So in an effort to find a more simple solution my wife actually thought of tapping off the rear signal on the truck and tying it into the wire for the 7 pin harness.
I have read how these trucks do not like their electrical played with and am a bit concerned that it will be too much for that side. If i were to do this do i need to fuse my tap off the rear in case it is too much load?
Open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Kevin
