The first place to check is under thr rear bumpper. I have seen were people have a big rats nest of wires and it is all messed up. Also check the tow plug for and burnt wires.

Exactly!!!! I had a poorly installed trailer plug when I purchased the my truck. Bare, broken and corroded wires and all. It took a careful wire by wire sorting out and re-wiring to fix all my problems.
