Without ground... 1 million volts won't spark an 1157.
Also, if you've ever sprayed a water hose in you're cab floor to rinse out the vinyl flooring, you easily could have corrosion in that panel or somewhere in that firewall. -
Good. Always check ground FIRST w electrical issues.
Glad u got it. -
TA mechanic? That doesn't sound encouraging. The electric cord has 2 ends, you know that, have you spread the pins with a small screwdriver or knife? Also, the wires are bolted into the plug with screw tensioners, you can check those. If you're getting intermittent functionality, it sounds like a fairly straightforward (inexpensive and easy to repair) problem. Best.

There is a fuse box under your hood / driver side / near the fire wall. Check trailer lights fuse.

I checked every single fuse on truck, turned out I needed to remove kick plate and the ground by clutch was loose, added 2 washers to it and make it snug and back in business!!!

What ended up being the problem? We have 2 2013 Cascadia day cabs with the same problem
