Have they worked in the past? Are you using a factory connector? Have you checked for power to the vehicle connector?

Let me know if it has worked before, the type of connector (7 pin, 4 pin...). Also, if this is the first time you are hooking up, let me know that too. It may just be a matter of determing which wires on the trailer need to match up with the vehicle.

Also, using a battery charger, you can identify if the wiring to the lights is good. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
