No right turn signal or brake light.
I thought this was gonna be a simple fast fix by changing out the light. I have no power on the brown wire back at the tailight. Is there a separate fuse panel for the driving trailer lights someplace in the fifth wheel.

Do you know where the wires go from the junction box. I can't believe I am gonna have to run one brown wire down the frame of the trailer to avoid pulling the corroplast down

I'd start at the truck. With the trailer disconnected, do the truck lights work properly? If so, plug in the trailer. Do they still work properly? If so, disconnect the trailer and check at the plug. Do you have power at the proper terminals? If so, open up the trailer light and see if you have power at the bulb. While you're at it, check the bulb.
If all checks out, but you still don't have proper lights, you may well need to run new wires.David Lininger, kb0zke

It’s a fuse or module in the truck most likely. The trailer lights are completely separate from the truck lights, and on most vehicles there is a separate fuse for each trailer turn/brake light

Have you pulled the entire light assembly off and checked the wiring splice behind? There should be enough slack to get the splices outside the wall, but pull carefully. You dont list you model, but on mine, just inside the back wall are wiring splices. They are a known issue as GD used knife splicers - not good. You may also be able to see the wiring under the trailer at the back corner. On my unit it goes through the floor from the overhang to inside a back wall cabinet and then to the light.

The problem was the brown wire going from junction in pin box to tailight. It was chewed through approx. 8 feet from back of camper. right at the point where the large coroplast pc starts at the entry door of the toyhauler garage. All repaired. Thanks for everything.
Re-pack bearings necessary?
