If your dash is out, your tail lamps are probably out too. Start by checking the tail lamps, license plate light and the most probable cause a trailer hitch wiring.

Let me know how you make out...

The tail lights were out also. I replaced that fuse and it seems to be doing ok (fingers crossed). But the dash fuse pops everytime the lights go on....

You think the trailer hitch wiring harness is the culprit? Do you think that it is grounding out?

thanks!

remat457,

I would sure look at the trailer wiring. At my shop the majority of tail lamp repairs with trailer hitches, is over 50% caused by the trailer wiring. I would definatly check it out first. Then If that all seems OK pull the tail lamp assembles out and look at the sockets and bulbs. Any of them leak water??

Let me know.

Well, the tail/brake lights seem to be ok.
The dash is still out (still pops the fuse as soon as i turn the lights on).

BUT, i checked the voltage on output on the trailer harness below the hitch and it is dead.

:(
