So I was using my trailer last night and notice my right turn signal on the trailer doesnt work, running lights and left signal works but not right signal.

Traced it all and found it goes into a splitter box, going in its fine-coming out to the trailer plug no juice for right signal. Found what I have online: http://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-Vehicle-Wiring/Toyota/T100+Pickup/1996/118496.html?vehicleid=19964142 but I dont need the entire thing, just the box and possibly plug itself. The box is appears sealed, Im assuming inside is the problem since the power is fine till it comes out the box.

Im gonna go scour the junkyards as soon as I can but hey if someone has one laying around.. Maybe you dont tow or maybe you got one at a junkyard nearby you know of? Ill buy it off ya for the right price too..

mine died on my 4runner as well. replaced it with a hopkins universal kit from a FLAPS. the factory wiring was all there i just cut out the box and wired in the new box, soldering and heatshrinking all the connections. didnt hack up any of the factory harness, just the harness for the trailer lights, which was an add in.

it was very inexpensive.

Yea thats pretty much what Im gonna have to do. Mines actually a u haul kit with factory connectors.

All I can find is that kit atm, I wonder where I can just buy the box.
