Sounds like something is up with the wiring on the trailor. you can also check the harness connector for the trailor, i have seen them actually corrode and short to other wires in the connector

    try the trailor harness, the side that comes off of your truck. just the connector.

I have a 2001 GMC 2500HD. It has a Hayes trailer brake controller installed in it. Even with nothing plugged into the trailer wiring socket, the parking light come on when I activate the brake controller....

It sounds as though you have either a frayed wire between the brake control circuit and tail/running light circuit of the truck side of the plug, or someone wired the truck side of the plug incorrectly.

Think about it. The parking brake lights come on when the controller is activated. More than likely the tail lights are also.

The tail lights are also going to come on when the headlights are on. This would cause the trailer brakes to be activated IF there is a short in the TRUCK side of the plug itself.

That's where I would personally start investigating, The truck side of the trailer plug.

Hope this helps.

I purchased an 81 eaton 24ft camper and I just had break controller and seven point hook up installed in my truck I hooked the truck up to he camper and get break lights an turn signals but none of the...

First thing to check is make sure the 7-way is plugged in firmly. Many times after connecting some people might accidentally trip or pull on the electrical connection. Next would be to get a test light and with your vehicle lights on start checking each of the 7 contacts in the 7-way right off the rear of your truck to make sure your 7-way was installed/wired correctly. If you still have the package for the 7-way that you installed it should show a diagram illustrating what contact is for the running lights and tail lights. If your test light pops on for each of those contacts then you have either bad bulbs or bad wiring on the trailer.

Can't get the lights on camper to work when I turn on a signal light both tail lights on camper flash thats the only lights that work . I drive a 2004 silverado

if they camper was wired for an older/other make of truck it might be different check to see if the yellow(left side turn/brake) wire maybe connected or crossed with the green(right turn/brake) wire,also see if the plug in wiring under the rear bumper is a stock plug in or if some one tried to go cheap and use"scotch-locks" on the tail light wires and crossed something under there,the parts store sells a plug in tester for your truck's particular plug that will tell you if the truck has the issue or if it's the camper,also check the ground,hope this helps,and good luck

No trailer turn signals tail lights work . you

If it is a factory trailer package then there are fuses for the left turn signal and the right turn signal for the trailer connector. Check your owners manual for the location of these two fuses.

2007 Tacoma Tail light problem.

Check the taillamp fuse on the truck. If it is blown, you either have a short in the wiring of the camper, or the 7 pin inverter box on the camper.
