...marked for a trailer? I towed a trailer the other day that took out the 15A fuse that protects the tail/clearance/dash lights.
So today I went through my fuses to get everything working again. I noticed a big square 40A fuse under the hood in the main power distribution box labeled "Trailer". This was blown. I do not know if this was recently or if it has been blown for a while.
Replacing the 15A fuse in the fuse block in the dash repaired the tail/clearance/dash lights as expected. And I replaced the big square 40A "Trailer" fuse under the hood while I was at it.
After I got home after dark and shut down the truck, I noticed all the clearance/tail lights still on. Nothing I did with the switches could make them go off. I pulled the 15A tail/clearance/dash fuse and THEY STAYED ON. That was the first weird part. I put that fuse back.
Then I pulled the 40A "Trailer" fuse under the hood. The lights went out. I put the fuse back in, but they did not come back on, just as they did not come on when I initially installed this fuse. I have left this fuse out for now until I figure this out.
This is the Dodge Ram 3500 dually 5.9L Cummins Turbodiesel with an automatic xmission, if it makes a difference.
