Chances are very good that you have a bad ground wire on your trailer or on the connector. Check the connector for rust or rot, clean the pins and use some grease to prevent future problems.
If the problem isn't at the connector, you may have a bad ground on the trailer which could be anything from an ungrounded light socket to a bad ground wire.
Hope this helps
Check the park lamp relay. It is probably next to the fuse.
Check for a bad ground
Probably the functions, running lights, reverse, brake, blinker, and a ground.
The tow bar comes with a color coded wiring harness. The tail lights, blinkers, and brake lights are hooked up to a terminal near the trailer hitch of the towing vehicle and then the tow lights are plugged into the socket for the car lights. There are four wires. The brown is the brake lights, the green and black are blinker lights, and the white wire is the ground wire.
Left is yellow, right is green, tail lights are brown.
How about a malfunctioning brake light switch
Yes, just like you would anywhere else.
It has been my experience that when the blinker comes on but the lights don't blink there is one or more bulbs burned out. If that is not the case check the flasher.
Your light has gone out or a bad fuse
Check the bulbs, check the fuse, check the flasher relay, in that order.
check fuses under the hood
check the ground wire on the trailer. if it is corroded at all they may not work. take a file to where the ground wire is hooked up to make sure it is on bare metal
