Looking for the fuse for my 2012 dodge ram that controls the trailer lights

Expert Reply:
The easiest way to find any fuse or relay in a vehicle is to use the owners manual and/or the legend usually found on the lid of the power distribution box. Those for trailer-related functions will often have a TRL abbreviation.
From what I could find in the online version of the owners manual, the trailer tow lamps/park lamps fuse is in cavity J14 and requires a blue 20 amp cartridge fuse. The fuse for the 12V power feed to the trailer is in cavity J01.
In my experience with my own vehicle, the owner's manual legend for the fuse panel differed from the actual power box layout! So, I suggest using the power box as your guide.
