Hey Charles,

You'll want to pick up a circuit tester # PTW2993 or multimeter # PT89ZR and check the 4-pole trailer connector on the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56334 and see if any of your light signals are coming through. If not, you'll want to then check the wire harness's ground and power wires. On the power wire you'll need to check the fuse holder to see if it's blown.

From there you can also test the signal wires from the lights to see if the signal is running up to the converter box. If you have power and the signals are coming to the converter box but not going out through the 4-pole wire then the converter box is bad and the wire harness would need to be swapped out.
