I was hooking up to my new to me trailer for the first time and I believe I blew a fuse. I was using a 6 way to a 7way adapter (6 on trailer 7 on truck) and I used the incorrectly wired adapter first (e brake in center instead of aux in center) and now I have no turn signals. I have running lights, flashers, and brake lights on the truck but no turn signals whether or not I am connected to the trailer. The turn signal indicator lights on the dash aren't even working. When plugged into the trailer the turn signals and interior lights on the trailer are not working. I know I have blown a fuse somewhere I just can't find it. I cannot find a fuse box in the interior of the truck. I can only find the fuse box under the hood. I have checked every fuse in the box under the hood and cannot find one that is blown. What am I missing? Where could this fuse be that is blown?

Did you check your owners manual to see where your fuse box might be located? We have an 05 and it has one inside the truck. I think it is around the emergency brake. We had a similar problem, come to find out hubby had the plug wired wrong. We had signal lights & brake lights but it would blow a fuse when we turned on our headlights.

In 06 Dodges, current to the trailer plug is limited by the TIPM (totally integrated power module). If it detects a fault it sets a diagnostic trouble code, and the module can only be reset 5 times before it becomes unoperative and must be replaced.
There is a reflash available at the dealership which will bump the max amps to trailer lights from 15 amps to 17.5, and it will also prevent the module from setting the trouble code.
