Power cable issues

I recently bought a rockwood 2318g.
Comes with a Furrion power cable.
The lights that plug into the 20 amp dont illuminate now. But the blue light on the side of the trailer still comes on...
Did I ruin the cable already?

No you didn't ruin anything.

There have been hundreds of reports here about the LED indicator lights burning out.
It is just an indicator. It hurts nothing when out.

Many have reported having the cable or hatch replace only to have them burn out again.

Mine burned out on the cable at about 12 months and on the hatch at about 14 months.

I think it's not actually the LED that burns out but the little circuit board that controls the light in the cable or hatch.

Ty. I will check all my AC outless when hooked in.

My 50a cord has two lights; one hasn't lit up in 2+ years; one lights up as designed. No problem. If your microwave clock comes on (assuming you have one), you're have electricity in the unit. I wouldn't check all my outlets.

Both my hatch LED and Furrion cord LED went out after a year and a half. I sent Furrion an email about the light and they sent me another cord since it's under warranty. I also purchased a new hatch but have not installed it yet because both the old hatch and cord still work.
