I need my trailer tomorrow so hooked it up and checked out the lights, brakes, etc.
I have no running lights at the trailer plug-in under the bumper.
Checked each pin with a VOM and everything works except the running lights.
Is there a fuse somewhere?
Help!

edit: Just so it's not OT I'm making a 900 mile round trip to Douglas NE to pick up a tractor.
 
Thanks for the help fellas.
I found a post on the Chevy Truck forums that listed all the fuses.
There is a 15A fuse just for the trailer running lights.
Replaced that and the lights are back on.
Aint the internet great!!
Now to figure out why it blew.
 
standing at the drivers side fender with the hood open, remove the big cover from the fuse box. it will be a small 15 amp fuse, it is the very first fuse on the top left row on the engine side of the fuse box.
 
Hi
It could be a live wire rubbed somewhere on the frame of the trailer or truck, or if someones messed with the wires at some point, and just taped the joints. The tapes come off and a lives grounded. I have had them where it took hours to find it, as it only blew fuses driving on rough ground, when the wire hit the wrong spot.

The other good one is the guy forgot to mention it was not his trailer when it blew, and i've been right through his out fit. was the borrowed trailer wiring!. That just makes a guy steam out the ears, after being under something that wasn't the problem for half a day or more!.

I got an inline fuse holder and plugged it in place of that little fuse, and stuck a circuit breaker in it. Some numbnuts wired the bale bed off the trailer wires and I haven't got to wiring it properly yet since figuring out the problem.
 
The owners manual in my 08 lists all the fuses and their location. One of your trailers probably has a short that caused it to blow. If you only have one trailer, guess what?
