I have no power at the + pin of the trailer receptacle on my 06 Ram. So the interior lights on my trailer do not work. The trailer plug is fine,as everything works when I plug the trailer into itself ( I mounted a battery box & receptacle to be able to use the lights when the truck is not hooked up) I think this happened a couple years ago & it was a fuse, this time all the fuses appear to be good.

you really need an ohm-meter to correctly check fuses, they really need to be removed from the circuit to be checked. If you don't have a ohm-meter a visual inspection might work, but sometimes you could miss a blown fuse.
good luck

Did you have the truck key to "run" when trying the inside trailer lights? My Chevy doesn't need the key on but my Ford dose, not sure how dodge is setup.

visual inspection of the fuse looked ok, swapped it out with a new one & same results. Did not check either fuse with an ohm meter. Does not make a difference if the ignition is on or off.
