I am trying to connect my towed vehicle to my PC. I am having an issue with the taillights on the toad. The towed charge wire and the running/tail lights work ok but the turn and stop lights do not. I have checked the 7 pin connector on the PC and I do not get any voltage on the left turn or right turn connector pins. The lights on the PC appear to working ok but no signal output to the 7 pin connector.
I am suspecting a blown fuse but do not know where to check. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I finally found the problem. It indeed was a 20 amp fuse that was blown. It was in the fuse box under the hood. There are two combination fuse/relays in the same box. One operates the left turn/stop and the other operates the right turn/stop for the 7 pin connector. The fuse/relays were ok. The 20 amp fuse I think supplies power to the two fuse/relays and it was this fuse that was bad. The location of these fuses are shown in the Ford Operators Manual. It is not a normal blade type fuse thus it required a trip to the auto parts store to pick up two. One to replace the blown fuse and the other as a spare. I carry a pretty good assortment of blade fuses but they were no help this time.
I wanted to respond to my own question in case someone has a similar issue in the future.

Chasing down electrical gremlins… isn’t much more enjoyable.
