I have brake lights and turn signals but no trailer lights.Already checked all 4 or 5 fuses responsible for lights and they all look good.Any idea what else should I check? Volvo 670.

If you have a test light make sure you have juice out the trailer cord, cord could be bad.
Process of elimination, where does the juice stop? -
Thanks.Correct me if I am wrong because I am ignorant when it comes to mechanical/electrical stuff but I would guess I do have juice out of cord since I have brake lights and turn signals?

You may only have juice to those circuits. If only the marker light circuit is bad, the others will work.
diesel drinker Thanks this. -
Is this your regular trailer, or one you just picked up?
-
Picked it up 3 days ago.I don't have regular trailer.Thank you for the plug drawing!
-
These are the reason for issues most of the time.diesel drinker Thanks this.

If you wiggle the plug do the lights come on? The biggest issue I had was a worn plug not making contact. You can stick a piece of plastic or folded paper in the side when you push the plug in to keep tension on it temporarily, and get a new plug or cord later.
diesel drinker Thanks this. -
If it's an older trailer with split pins, you can spread the pins a bit.
diesel drinker and Oldironfan Thank this.
