Some vehicles supply power on that battery charge line only when the engine is running, or ON.

Others supply power even if the vehicle engine is not running, so be sure to test the battery charge line with the engine running, and with it off.

It goes without saying to double check all the fuses.

You need the taillights to work but the battery connection to charge your trailer battery can wait if need be. 

Do you have a voltmeter? If so, check the connector outputs yourself, with someone in the vechicle operating it. You can google up the connector  pinout on etraiter or other sites.

^^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^

The brake controller only affects the one wire. I'd check the connector for sure.

Make sure your connector is clean and corrosion free.  ]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2019 16:57:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12732&PID=122483#122483 Problem with 7-Way RV Blade Socket : Hello Again!2 weeks ago I had... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12732&PID=122479#122479 Author: IrishDream

Hello Again!


2 weeks ago I had a Curt Triflex 51140 brake controller installed on my 2005 GMC Envoy SLT.

Then last week I had a local mechanic change out all my fluids in anticipation of our trip to Cincinnati in 2 weeks to pickup our new Rpod.  While they were at it, I also asked them to give the Envoy a look see to ensure there weren’t any other problems that needed addressing.

Well, they weren’t able, time-wise, to finish troubleshooting my vehicle side 7-Way Blade Connector.  But they told me it wasn’t working properly for both the battery and taillight connections, which obviously I need to get fixed before we leave for Cincinnati.

Since everything was working fine last Fall when we were towing our Coleman pop-up camper, and I just had a new brake controller installed, I wondered if the brake controller install was possibly the culprit while connecting the brake controller to the blue wire.  So, I stopped by the brake controller shop, they checked out their install, and they told me everything involved with the install looked fine.

Any thoughts out there?  Obviously I need to get my 7-Way fixed before I leave.  Most likely headed back to the mechanic who changed all my fluids to continue troubleshooting same.

Thanks again!  I look forward to being of assistance in the future, just as all you have been to me thus far.


Jack
