wiring into a truck wire for camper running lites

Hi There,
The 18ga black wire that was connected to the running lite wire from the camper plug for juice to operate the camper running lites doesn't have juice anymore for a reason I haven't been able to determine and for the time being maybe don't care. However, is there another wire in that packet of wires running along the frame that I can tap into for 12v juice to operate the running lites?
Thank you for any comments or suggestions.

Don't be so lazy, get busy troubleshooting. There has to be a reason there's no voltage on the existing line.....

If that is the way replies to my thread are going to go, then don't bother to take the time and I won't bother questioning in the future either.

on my 04 fuse #5 is 7.5 amp trailer tow light relay. I believe some one on here will have a diagram for (06) that can help. Pay no mind to DOG as he appears unable to help himself. According to his previous posts. Grant;;;;;;;;;

This site helped me when I had to chase a short.

I would pay no mind to verdesardog, I get a good laugh at how he comes off on most of his posts, thanks again for making me laugh at you.

I'm glad I make you guys laugh.


My truck is totaly maintained by my self and has NO problems at this time. I have spent many hours and some $$$ on the mods in my sig. even without asking random people how to do it.

Maybe when you get to be an old fart like me (66yo) you might have enough knowledge to fix your own rides.......

Back in my day.......
I will give it to you, that is one nice truck with a great set up of switches and mods.
But come on, don't come down on a member because they are asking for assistance. This site is set up for people to ask for help and learn from others. A good clue could save someone many hours and $.

The thing about the OP is that he just wanted a quick fix to bypass a problem. If something is not working find out why and fix it don't just bypass it!
