Where is it??
I can find this fuse anywhere. I googled the crap outta this and still nothing.
Tried the "Tail" 10A fuse located on the pass. side box next to the battery, and it is fine.
I've had this truck for years and never had this problem with my trailer lights not working.
I know it's not the trailer because I hooked it up to another truck. I'm assuming there is a fuse blown somewhere.

Is this an OEM harness or something? None of the aftermarket harnesses I've installed had fuses...they just tapped into the brake light wiring at the connectors.

What exactly isn't working? If none of the lights work, it's probably a bad ground. The turn signals and brake lights have their own leads, so you'd only see 1 or so not work. Do your trucks lights work ok?

Yeah, no dedicated trailer fuse on my 02 qx4 either. What I can tell you is that I keep spare headlamp fuses because the vehicle likes to blow those most times as I hook up a trailer harness.

I can again confirm my aftermarket trailer wiring does not have a fuse, maybe just need to check the connections/ground, somewhere around the taillights if I had to guess (mine are pig tailed into the drivers side brake lights)

My '01 Pathfinder with OEM hitch has an inline fuse for the trailer lights under the driver side rear bumper.

Same here, My fuse is located right next to the dealer installed hitch. It was corroded the last time I needed it.
