Fuse is blown
light connector is unplugged
ground wire on trailer disconnected
Yes, just like you would anywhere else.
I would check the running lights for one with a short. I had the same sort of thing with my trailer and I spent way to much time troubleshooting the brake and signal wires. Turns out a running light bulb connector was grounding out on the trailer and messing it all up.
Trailer Lights Not Working ProperlyWithout being able to physically see and troubleshoot the defective trailer light wiring system [from the attachment to the vehicle wiring harness (s) all the way to each of the trailer lamps [light bulbs], one can only speculate.I suspect that the cause for part of the lamp filaments working properly while some don't is the result of connecting some wires to the wrong wires.
Check your fuse box, They may all run of the same fuse.

check your fuses. Should be located near the driver side kick panel.
I would first check the grounding between the truck and the trailer. If the ground is good then bulbs would be the next thing to check.

Try the tractor with a different trailer, the pig tail is most likely not connecting properly.
