The 7-way connecter on my 05 Ram 2500 does not have power on the
positive pin in ther connector. As such I get no charging of my trailer
battery when I am hooked up. What gives? What do I have to do to get
this pin powered?

Thanks

Happy Turkey Day

It's supposed to. First, check the 20A fuse in the Integrated Power Module
(used to be called a Power Distribution Center - but what's in a name?).
It's fuse #19.

You can download the factory wiring diagram for your truck from here:

Tom:

You area whiz! Fuse 19 was blown in the Power Module. Will replace it
and should be good to go.

The wiring diagram resource is awsome!

Thanks for your help

Just be sure to check your trailer's wiring before plugging it in again.
Something made that fuse blow...

I think it was me when I accidentaly shorted the trailer battery while
trying to hook-up the cables.

Thanks again
