Well this is just info for anybody that might have experanced this problem.
When my hydrolics were being fixed the dealer drained my trailer battery, so I pluged in the trailer to the truck and let it build up a charge before starting, I would recomend you get a good charge or this is what will happen. the power usage is so great for the pump and the wire capisity for the line to the trailer is too small for the demand it will plow the MAXIE 30 amp on the truck ( the one that charges the battery when the ignition is on ) so I would recomend you keep at least 1 spair in your extra parts for th truck, of course if in a pinch you can use a paper clip instead of a fuse but it's your wiring harness.
