first thing i would do is check the trailer wiring for a good ground and any breaks in the wiring. then check both ends of trailer/truck pigtail to make sure no loose wires and no dirt and a good tight fit in the plug ins you might check the light bulbs as well, you also need to check the voltage at the pigtail..if that is good go back under the cab to the plug for the pigtail where it comes out of the cab..if that is good go to ther fuse panel.(#29 I think). if ther is voltage there...it could be the relay or the wire...you'llhve to trace it out to see.
