2021 Gladiator Diesel
I hooked up our 30ft trailer yesterday and realized the running lights weren’t working. All the other functions work (brake light, left, right, brake and 12v power) I hooked up our Subaru and confirmed the running lights work with that vehicle so it’s something with the jeep.
I checked the fuses under the hood that had anything labeled for trailer and they all looked fine.
I have very basic knowledge of electrical stuff but using a meter I was able to validate power to all the functions that work via the Jeep plug but the running light pin appeared to be dead.
Needless to say our 6 hour trip wasn’t fun without running lights and cameras. We had to stop at Walmart and rig up some running lights using wedding LED lights and colored tap.
We got to our destination safely and we’ll be here for two days so I would like to resolve this issue before we head back.
Any tips on what to do?
I thought I should pull the plug from the inside bumper to check the connection to the external part of the plug but beyond that I’m not sure what to check.
I appreciate any help. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find anyone to look at it for me over the holiday weekend.
