2012 Ford Explorer XLT
I have purchased the Curtis class 3 with the 7 way wire setup. I have sent an email to Curtis about the wire harness. Parking lights work but no brake or turn signal. I have tested the harness by ohming it out and it shows to be fine. I am not having any issues with the ford with turn or brake. Is there a fuse some where I do not know about that could cause this issue. Has anyone have had the same issue. If this is the wrong thread I am truly sorry. Any help would be well appreciated. I know I have sent an email to Curtis but just frustrated.

Thanks Dave
 






Check your owners manual and see if there are fuses or relays that should be in the fuse block.

On my 2016 the fuse block that has these fuses is under the hood, not sure on a 2012

Welcome to the Forum Dave.:wave:
As JAPeterson mentioned, check your Manual. All fuses are listed there and there are several for Trailer Tow (TT). The ones you may want to check are #63 TT stop/turn lamps and #84 TT park lamps. These are located in the engine bay fuse box.
