    Demon,

    Check the ground on your trailer wiring adapter. Sounds similar to a problem I had in the past.

    You checked all the fuses?
    Maybe the water got into the trailer plug and short circuited?
    With the gear thing maybe the mode selector thing has died?

    Is the 15 Amp (CB-15) fuse in your dash fuse box blown by any chance?

    Completely new to my VX, where is the dash fuse box? On my integra it was on the floorboard passenger side, is that where it is on the VX?

    Open drivers side door...there is a panel on the side of the dash...should be the one you are looking for.

    Am I going to need to remove the bumper to get to the ground? I can see the connection, but cant find any wiring underneath the car.

    Also, the inside lights all work as do the exterior lights. I will go through the fuses tomorrow, once I locate the dash fuse box, and proceed from there. At least the heater is working, it is freakin cold here!

    Guess I'm a little late since you already found a blown fuse ... but ...

    Most people install the wiring for trailer lights in the cubby for the jack (all but one of the connections are there).
