Sorry, not trying to step on toes. He only mentioned that he checked the fuses and was giving a reminder that relays are also involved too...

Update:

The mechanic just called me. He found a fuse that was blown that I missed. He replaced it and it blew out right away. He lifted the Yukon and found two corroded wires coming from the 7 pin connector. He repaired the wires and everything is good to go.

A big thank you to everyone that helped me out.

Harbor freight and several other companies sell magnetic trailer lights. They work fine, but it is a good idea to add some duct tape to hold them down.

The problem was fixed but thanks for the suggestion. I actually order a set from Amazon that I have to return.

At my age, maybe I should check myself for blown fuses and corroded wires . . . DW claims I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree and not all my lights work!

Lesson learned
Happy Camping.

Now that you have learned so much from this experience, you will be much better prepared for lies in front of you as a RVer. You will need it.

Welcome aboard!

Seems to be a run on contact cleaner. Either out or ridiculous price. I’ll use wire brush and isopropyl alcohol.
