No reverse lights on trailer

[MattSim]

Hi, im from Argentina and I have a 2025 Ranger Raptor, and when I plug the trailer lights, reverse is not worrking. All other lights are working. When I run trailer lighting test, they work after the reverse lights of the truck are off. Other thing is pin of reverse doesnt have 12 v. Here is a vídeo of testing. Sorry for My english if something is written wrong

I have not noticed trailers having reverse lights (at least not in North America). Here is what I found online:

"Most standard trailers do not come with reverse lights as a factory feature. While some newer RVs or specialized utility trailers are beginning to include them, they are not legally mandated by the DOT and are largely considered an aftermarket upgrade"

P.S. Your English is great. Welcome to Ranger6G forum.

Looks like they are not required, so maybe your particular trailer doesn't have them. From Duck.AI:
Reverse Light Requirements for Trailers in Argentina
Legal Requirements

• Trailers in Argentina are not required to have reverse lights.

Safety Recommendations

• Despite the lack of legal requirements, it is advisable to install reverse lights for enhanced safety.
• Reverse lights can help improve visibility when reversing, making it easier for both the driver and other road users to see the trailer's movements.

Conclusion
While not mandated by law, adding reverse lights to trailers in Argentina is a practical safety measure that can prevent accidents and improve overall road safety.

Thanks for the response. The trailer has reverse light, but the truck trailer pin for reverse lights isnt working, and that pin on other raptors here are working, maybe there ir a configuration ir a Gise that is missing

If you have reverse lights on the Truck & have a pin on the Trailer Harness its self , to activate the Reverse light fixture , it would be easy to wire it to the Trucks Harness .
Could be a programming issue also , what Plug on the Truck are you using , 7 pin or 4 ?

I would look up the wiring pin layout on the Trucks Plug & use a multimeter or test light to see if you are getting 12VDC at the Plug pin , if not take it to a dealer if under warranty . The was a Recall for Trailer system .
Could be a bad pin on the Trucks 7 pin plug .

Maybe you can hook up your trailer to another Raptor and check. Also connect the trailer of someone that has working reverse lights to your truck. That way you narrow it down to either your truck or your trailer has the problem.
