Trailer Dome Lights Not Working
Published 01/14/2008
Question:
We have a Ford 250 SuperDuty prewired with a 7 pole trailer hookup. We have just purchased a 7 x 14 tandem axle United trailer with electric brakes. The dome lights dont work. We are installng a Ford specific brake controller. Will that enable the dome lights? From what I read, it is independent from the lights and work the electric brakes only???? If so, suggestion on the dome lights?

Expert Reply:
As long as everything is hooked up properly, your dome lights should be working. Use a circuit tester to test the wires going into your 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle. You can also check the fuse box to see if you have blown any fuses.
