    Greetings to all. I'm new to the site and recent owner of a 2011 TRD Rock Warrior. Hooked up a trailer today and I only have running lights. I tested the truck side front and back pins of the receptacle and it shows power to only Charging pin and Running lights. No flashers no signals no brake or Back up lights. I checked both fuse boxes Engine compartment numbers 6, 11, 14, 17 all were good checked side panel fuse box numbers 20 and 22 they were good. I inspected the harness and no damage its in great shape and well protected. I'm at my wits end traveling out of state and have to get this thing working properly. Any suggestions? am I missing a relay or a fusible link in the harness? Not sure how to proceed.

    Does the truck have brake and turn? Did you try to unplug the harness and check the pins behind the bumper? Look for rodent damages? You could also run some temporary wires for your trip. Battery powered wireless magnetic light set works by plugging transmitter in inside the cab.

    Yes I tested the pins behind the bumper and at the Y. Only running lights nothing else testing positive. Wondering where the tow light relay is? I can only find fuse schematic

    Are you having someone push the pedal when your testing for brake?

    Have you checked the wiring coming into the rear bumper for damage? There have been a lot of people with rodent damage to their wiring. Welcome to the site from LA (Lower Alabama)!

    If you haven't already, I would trace it all the way back to the fuse box. Those little demons with teeth can squeeze in anywhere.

    Thanks for all the greetings and the replies. Problem solved turned out fuse #14 in engine compartment was missing. New problem a rose while trying to find the issue. Rear camera in the mirror doesn't come up. Only gets blue screen for a few seconds then off

    The good news is you have trailer lights. Many of us lived for a long time without cameras in vehicles, in my opinion just more crap to go bad, guess my opinion just became fact.
