Trailer Wiring

The diagram says W/O crew cab. Mine is a crew cab. Does it make a difference? Thanks

Sorry, it's a 2500hd Duramax. Thanks

Electrical problem
1999 Chevy Silverado V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 216490 miles

I hook my trailer up to my truck and plug in the lights. I check the lights to make sure they work, check the blinkers, brake lights and tail lights and they all work correctly. Here is where the problem starts, when I hit my brakes or turn my lights on and hit my blinkers, the lights on my trailer flash like lights at a rail road crossing.

Yes, this happens when the key is turned on. When doing a basic check of the lights, the left blinker works, the right blinker works and the brake lights work, it is only when I turn on the lights or hit the brake and then check the blinkers that they flash left, right left, right. I completely traced the wires on the trailer and all is well. I checked the plug on the truck and it checks out as well. I'm about ready to pull my hair out.

O.K. So before I run a seperate ground I take another look at my wireing harness just to make sure everything checks out, when my wife yells at me telling me that they just started working. So my guess would be in the harness some where. Now my nest question is when I jiggled the wireing harness and the lights started working why would my plug so to be working properly before I Jiggled the harness. I hope you understand the question.

I checked the ground, and it looked good but to make sure I disconnected it sanded the area on the frame to make sure of a good ground and re grounded it. Every thing is still working, so it has to be in the wireing harness somewhere I would think. P.S. Just like you said.

Randy,

I have the exact same problem with the right turn signal on my trailers. I have 2 trailers and they both do the same thing. In addition hooked up a differnt truck and the lights worked fine. Got ripped off by a trailer place in Salinas, CA ($190.00) bucks worth of BS Left turn blinks just find. Right turn blinks emergency on the trailer but right turn on the truck. Replaced the truck plug in with a new one. Did you ever figure out what was causing your problem. Z.

2005 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 37700 miles

I keep blowing my trailer fuse when I connect my seven plug connector from my small horse trailer to the truck. I have checked all the lights and grounding on the trailer. The lights work fine off a battery, however, when I connect the trailer cable with the truck running, the fuse will blow. If I connect with the truck off, it will work for 5 minutes and then blow. I'm not sure if I can increase the fuse size or not. I have a utility trailer with a four plug connector that works fine. The hitch is a GM hitch with the prewired cabling.

Does the 2003 Silverado have a snap in trailer light harness or do I have to splice into the taillight wiring?

What about trailer brake wiring?

Ok

As I wrote, I had a new plu put on the trailer and the problem is still occurring with two differnt trailers. But when I hooked up a differnt truck everything was ok . So now I just have to find the ground. I always heard that 90% of electrical problems are bad gounds.

I have a 2004.5 Chevy Silverado crew cab 4x4 with the duramax diesel and the alison trans with 29,995 miles on it. I just started having problems with the factory trailer wiring circut. When I step on the brakes I only get the right brake, and when I turn on the right blinker, I get power to both right and left blinker. This test was done with the trailer hooked up and also without being hooked up using a test light. This problem is at the rear on the factory 7 wire plug and at the fithwheel wire assimbly between the cab and the bed.

Any ideas? Chevy said maybe a bad relay under the hood but which one? It's not marked for trailer on any of the relays under hood, only fuses which are all good. This truck does not go off road and is very clean.

Thanks,
Corby
