Like stated in title I have a 02 F150 my question is my plug in for my trailer lights have never worked before. I got the line of fire for it and he the guy was just going to plug it in but they didn't work so he hardwired it off the tail light I believe. Well now I am going to be using a trailer more often could I run one of those four prong adapters off the same way that he did? If so what colors go with which? I hope this makes sense let me know if you guys can help. Thanks

Use the factory connector, it is fused separately from the lights, so if your trailer causes a fuze to blow you don't lose truck lights, you just lose the trailer! check your owners manual and it should tell you what fuses to check and get that OEM connector up an functional.

If its not the fuze its probley the connector or a bare wire somewhere. There shoud be a split connector ahead of the back bumper pull this apart, go to a parts store and get the connector and the trailer connector that will plug in to both sides of the split connector.

Thanks all You guys for your input I did a little deeper searching online as well as on my truck and go my problem solved. I thought it was a relay that was not there. Ended up that two of the fuses were blown out. I used one of those little tester deals that shows you which lights are working and they are all working according to that. We will see when I hook the trailer up this weekend but I think it will work great! Thanks again!

My problem with the trailer hookup on my 02 F150 is that it gets torn up if I am in rough ground. It broke off the hanger completely and the cover broke off. So now it gets cruded up and doesn't want to work. I don't know why they put it down there. I haven't tried to replace it yet and suspect that when I do the connections will cause problems with wires. I haven't looked but I hope there's a cannon plug that makes it a pretty easy switch out.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
