Since all 5 top across the back clearance light and the red lights at the rear right and left side are ALL out that seems like a fuse.
I don't see a listing in the fuse panel (cab-2018 Freightliner) for ANY trailer wiring except ABS.
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Usually the black wire in the pigtail or trailer plug.
-
I'll see if I can find it. Thank you
-
The brown one usually if wired correctly will power the lower tail lights, side markers, and license plate light. The black powers the others.

Ugh. Not like a flatbed trailer. Can't follow anything. Everything is up inside the trailer structure or maybe in the bulkhead wiring box. Guess I'm asking boss man to take it from here LOL
-
There is a fuse or two for the trailer on the firewall in the engine compartment. Drivers side up by the air manifold.
-
As others mentioned check the fuses but I had a similar issue and it was the pins on the trailer couple that had an issue. Another issue was the electric couple prong pins.

I'm guessing it's this. I had to back up like I was a proficient city reefer driver...except I'm only an ok flatbedder and I pulled the pigtail so hard the plastic deformed! I replaced the cord but might have stressed the pins. (Horrible inner city Atlanta warehouse you have to jackknife and keep pushing to square up to the dock. I don't even know why that's a thing FFS ...get a straight truck...)
Anyway. Thanks for the input. I'm handing this off the guy who owns this problem LOL it's above my pay grade.NorthEastTrucker Thanks this. -
Not a problem. Back in the day (One of my last Otr routes for a form company I worked for) I had a reefer load going to a Cold storage in the Atlanta area so I can understand your frustration.Qbf594 Thanks this.
