Power Cord not working?

I just returned from my 3rd trip in my new Jayflight 32RLDS. On my 2nd trip out, I was grabbing the 25' power cord out of the bed of my truck and the Female unit dropped to the ground as I pulled it out (probably about 5'). I plugged it into the Trailer and then plugged the male unit into the Power box. Both indicator lights on the TT and the Power cord were working, but I couldn't use my electric jack without having my power supply hooked to the TV. I did learn today (from this great site) that I most likely have a blown fuse and it has nothing to do with my Power Cord being dropped.

NEW PROBLEM: I noticed this past weekend (my 3rd trip), that the indicator light on the TT isn't turning on. I noticed it when I was plugged in at the State Park and then noticed it still wasn't turning on at home when I plugged it in. There are 2 indicator lights on the power cord on the male end, and only one of them is on.

Did I screw up my power cord when it fell on the ground? I just don't want to be stranded when I am out camping this weekend and my batteries die due to them being used solely and not the power box.

This is my first TT where the Power Cord comes detached from the trailer. Thanks for reading!

If you have the blue indicator LEDs on your cord it will only light up when you supply 2 phase 50AMP service. There are 2 hots feeding the trailers systems for increased draw and when a side is not being energized like with 30AMP or 15AMP single phase it will not light up.

Thanks. I do remember now that I was only hooked up to 30 amp this past weekend. And at home, I obviously only have 15amp, so I have my 50amp to 30 amp adapter hooked up to my 30amp to 15amp adapter hooked up to my extension cord. I just checked and this coming weekend, I am hooked up to 50 amp again, so hopefully all lights should be back to work.
