Have you checked the blinker fluid? Sorry, it's Saturday. Grounds, grounds, grounds Gramps used to say. I despise trailer wiring. You can start over with everything brand new, and still end up swearing.

21 out of 19 trailer light problems are a bad ground.

Have a shared, wired ground for every light. Don't use the trailer frame for any ground.

Yes, ground, ground, ground. A short inside the connector is a ground problem?

I never bothered to run with functioning trailer lights. They were busted out or wires dragged off the first couple of job sites the trailer got set up on.
I quit caring. If you’re dumb enough to tailgate me hauling cordwood or tear-off shingles, then you’ll earn an easy life lesson.

Right after man invented the wheel, he invented the trailer, He's been trying to keep the lights working ever since.  "You've got a bad ground." LOL I appreciate the fact that you always can read between the lines.
