Did you try the owners manual? Usually there is a list of what fuse does what. On my Ford they are in one of the fuse boxes. Good luck
Look under the hood for another fuse box.
Owners manual does not show a location for trailer fuses.
If all your truck lights are working okay then test the plug-in on the truck. All of your lights on the truck are fused except there is no seperate fuse for the trailer plug to my knowledge.Quote:

Found this for you.
If you find one or all of your trailer lights won't work [when connected to a 2004 Toyota TACOMA], there is a seperate fuse system for factory trailer set-up's behind the driver-side rear seat under the black converter box. It is not shown in the manual.
There are four fuses labeled RIGHT, LEFT, TAIL, and POWER.
Mine is under the hood but I have an '06.

This is exactly were the blown fuse was at.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the great info. My trailer lights went out on the way home from the lake. I tested everything I could think of. It was the stinking little hidden fuse. Worse than that 3 years ago I was fishing at Wallowa Lake. Long way from home. I was driving a different 2003 Tacoma. My trailer lights went out. I checked everything i could think of to no availe. I took it down to the local mechanic and he could find nothing in the trailer. He said he thought it might be the converter box. The nearest one was in Twin Falls Idaho. Got there and they checked it out and said it was the converter box. They said they didn't have one in stock and there werent any in the USA. They could get me one from Japan in 3 to 5 weeks. This is a family site so I wont repeat what I told him. Wow all at once an aftermarket one appeared at ther local auto parts store. About 1/3 the price of toyotas. Now I wonder if it was a converter box at all. The same exact symptoms were fixed with a little fuse.Quote:

Most all trucks since mid 90's have separate fuses for trailer light wiring. Some are hidden like that one, some are under hood on passenger side. Just bought a slide in camper, found out on my 3/4 ton 96 chevy I have a completely separate wiring and fuse box for camper including a separate charging circuit for onboard battery's. Hidden on drivers side under hood at the cowl.
There is a fuse for a trailer plug on 2009 gmc sierras. Found this out the hard way.:cheers2Quote:

They checked it and said it was tghe converter box. They also said they didn't have one and none were available in the USA but they could order one from Japan/ This being a family site I won't share what I told them. The suddenly found an after market one at the local parts store. I now wonder if that was also the 50 cent fuse that cost me $180.
Tanks for the info. Got them going with just a fuse. My TLR lights went out again a few days ago.
