Fuses

When Tia came in the other night and said the trailer lights weren't working (but the brake lights were), we were sure that Parker Trailers had done something wrong. We both could rewire things, but we hate to spend the time, plus we just paid $300 for them to rewire things. So I drove down, complained lightly to get them to look at it and so they came outside.

They have a tool that plugs into the socket, so they did that and immediately the guy walked back and popped the hood. He said that there are separate fuses for brake lights and parking lights for the trailer on these newer trucks, which I hadn't realized. Sure enough the running lights fuse was blown, so he replaced it and I was on my way.

I felt a bit dumb, but I learned something, which was good. And it's a good design on the 04 Dodge Ram 2500 we have.
