Hi  
  
  
  
 I have a 1988 Jeep comanche  
  
  
  
 I lost my tail lights, front marker lights and dash lights today  
  
  
  
 I have checked all the fuses under the dash and havent found any blown  
  
  
  
 I hooked a trailer up to it today and I think this is the cause  
  
  
  
 some how it caused a short  
  
  
  
 Can you tell me where to look for additional fuses  
  
  
  
 Thanks

I’ve had that happen when the trailer wiring had a short. It will be a fuse. Check your owners manual for fuse locations, you might have a fuse panel under the hood.

You need to check your fuses with an ohmmeter or a continuity light. They can blow with a hairline fracture that is difficult to see.
