Welcome to LOST

since this seems connected to the trailer wiring - I'd check though the connections & fuses for that first - also the power distribution under the hood.

With the factory tow package the marker lights on the trailer are on the same fuse as the right marker and tail light on the Jeep. The dash lights are on there too. I had to run 150 miles last week with the flashers on the get home from NY. Had a short on the trailer causing my problem. :)

thanks for the help. I guess I have a problem with the trailer, thankfully it's not mine

I had the same problem with a trailer, it took out the brake light fuse causing all sorts of mayhem for me.

Look for not just the "tail light" fuses... But also the STOP light fuses. Stupid design, they couldn't have just done that with one, they had to use three?
