When pulling gooseneck trailer the marker lights go out on the bed and cab of this truck. The dealers say there is no issue, this happens with every gooseneck trailer pulled by this vehicle.

within 15 minutes. As we were heading home(900miles) waited until we were home to discuss issue with a second service dealer. They also replaced the fuse, stating they could not see an issue. Fast forward two months. Hooked to a different gooseneck trailer. No marker lights. No cab lights. Once again fuse blew. We replaced fuse. Have not pulled since, but are planning to pull gooseneck trailer within the next month.
