so, i've hooked up two trailers and only the running lights work. No brake lights or turn signals.

I swear it worked about 2 weeks ago. When i looked down at the fuse under the hood (without pulling it out) the connection seemed fine on the top. There is a brake controller installed on the vehicle as well. I've tried it with and without the brake controller. any ideas?

I had it happen to me once and it blew the fuse in the dash, I think 4 way flasher, brake, and turn signals, Then another time dash light and running lights. Turn out the trailer wiring was rubbing on the frame and shorting out. A roll of electrical tape fixed that.

If it is just the brake and turn signal on the trailer it could be the convertor in right rear panel.
It's time to bring out the test light and see whats at the trailer plug on the Jeep.
