Blinker Trouble
The left blinker and brake light on my 2004 Mountaineer won't work. The running light does work. I switched the bulbs (from left to right) and still have the same problem, so i know it's not the bulb.I have cleaned the plugs on both the trailer and the truck, and because the right one works I assume that I have a proper ground. What should I try next?
The lights on the pick-up work just fine.

I see on your signature that you have the same truck as mine except mine is a PSD. The day that I picked up my Montana I had the same problem. The left brake light did not work. I did not know there were separate fuses under the hood for the trailer lights. In the past trucks I have owned have only had one fuse for the brake lights. In my case I had a friends boat trailer plugged into the seven pin connector and when we launched the boat it blew the fuse for the left brake light only. May not be your problem, but worth looking at the fuse panel under the hood.

Charlie -
You hit it right on the head. Who would have thought there was another fuse box under the hood, I thought all the fuses were under the dash. A separate fuse for trailer turn/brake light left and another for trailer turn/brake right. I switched the the two 7.5 fuses and my problem is now the right side blinker. I can't thank-you enough for helping me with my problem. Isn't the MOC forum wonderful !!!!

Glad I could help....the next question to be answered is why the fuse was blown, maybe it just was weak or you might have to look some more.

Good call Charlie, I also did not know there were seperate fuses. I will log that one in the hard drive for future use. Also agree completely with Rex and Mary. This is a wonderful forum.

Wish I had known this several months ago when I had the same problem towing with our Duramax. Cost me $40 for a guy (he didn't know either) to trace things back to the fuse box. He finally asked me if I had the owner's manual. There was the answer right there - all I had to do was just read it. Duhhh. Mike
