Need any advise ASAP! We are packed and ready to head north tomorrow morning at 7am and all of a sudden our tail lights are not working. Towing a Kia Sedona. Driving a 06 Gulf Stream.
Head lights work as do brake lights and turn signals. We were just walking around checking everything out they went out. Tried fuse and nothing wrong there. Help.......

There may be a fuse box under hood, usually on left inner fender apron. You may need to remove the cover, look on underside of cover and usually there is a diagram of the fuse location. Check this out, as I'm not familiar with this model. I'm the Toyota Guy. Sorry if I'm of no help, but I tried.

You may get more advice if you include your chassis info. Ford, WH or diesel/chassis builder.

On a Winnie 35J, Ford V10, there is a circuit braker panel by the drivers left foot. Over it is a panel behind which are a bunch of fuses. There is also a fuse panel in the "hood" area. The Ford manual lists all the fuses. Good luck! Steve

I had a similar problem.
I hooked up a trailer and I kept blowing the fuse. I had to put in a bigger fuse for my tail lights in my coach fusebox on the left side under the dash. I went from a 5 to a 10 and that solved the problem. Just my input.

Be sure to un-plug the toad until you have the coach lights fixed.
If plugging in the toad causes them to go out again, be sure that the interconnecting cable has not been rubbed bare somewhere. This can be very difficult to pin down if there is a bare spot which only touches ground once in awhile.
Good luck!

thanks for all your replies - we are on the road. Changed the fuse last night and this morning just as we were pulling out of the driveway, the coach tail lights went out again. stopped down the road, put in new fuse and unhooked the trailer lights and coach tail lights still working. So it must be in trailer wiring. So now to have that looked into........
