    Body controller will send power to trailer light relays in the fuse/breaker panel in front of the passenger seat. Those relays should click when the lights turned on, stop or signals activated. There are also breakers that supply power to those relays. Make sure you check all that.

    Sorry to hear that. I was hoping for something cheap. Did you boost the truck or something before this all started?

    Sometimes they do lose their programming and simply need to be reflashed.
