trailer interior light problems

I just picked up my new 14 ft enclosed trailer yesterday and love it. However, the interior light only works when the truck lights are on. If the truck is running and the lights are OFF, the interior light still doesn't work. So, i'm not sure if the interior light is just spliced into the running lights, or if there is something I have done wrong. I checked my trailer plug wiring on the truck twice, and all the wires are correct. I checked the fuses for something like 'auxiliary trailer power' but didn't find anything. What am I missing? Or is the trailer just wired to turn the interior light on when the truck lights are on? This could get annoying after a while.

I have seen interior lights wired this way when someone installed them after the trailer was built. It is just an easier way to get power than wiring to an always hot circuit.

This is being addressed with a lot of information already in place in your other thread so I will close this thread and include a link to the other thread. This will keep you from missing relevant information by having it in two threads at once. I have also changed the thread title to show what information you need now.
