Why is my trailer brake / turn signal not working?
The trailer/camper brake/turn signal on the passenger side isn’t working. We did check fuses. The trailer wiring isn’t the problem. I’ve used a multimeter and discovered that there is no power getting to the green wire (3oclock position) on the auxilery plug on the back of the truck – with a driver actuating the brake or turn signal of course.
What to do if your right brake light is not working?
On a trailer the functions for your turn signals are also tied into the brake lights so if your right turn signal is working on your trailer but the brake light isn’t then there are a few things you can do. I recommend starting off by checking both the connector on your 1998 GMC Savana and the connector on your trailer.
Where are the brake lights and left side turn signals?
Your brake lights and turn signals for each side are on one circuit. The left side turn signal and brake light is generally the yellow wire going into your trailer connector. The first thing to do is check the fuses on your tow vehicle. Next, inspect and test the connector at the rear of your tow vehicle with a circuit tester, like # 40376.
How can I tell if my trailer brake light is working?
If you have a 4-Way it will be the Green wire, if you have a 7-Way it will be the 3 o’clock pin on your tow vehicle which is the 9 o’clock pin on your trailer (see attached photo). From here you will be able to tell which end the problem is on.

Why are my blinkers not running fast when I connect to the trailer?
My blinkers are not running fast when I connect to the trailer. I’ve seen that mentioned as a fairly common symptom. I’m thinking it’s either the vehicle flasher or the converter. Does the flasher have anything at all to do with the brake light? If not, then I’m guessing it’s the converter.

Can a trailer light work without a harness?
At the connection behind each tail lamp the new harness contains about 6 different relays on each side. No trailer lights will work properly without this pricey harness. Thankfully I was given one by someone who sold their van.
