I am having a problem with my trailer lights. The are all getting power but my right turn signal is not work. Used a light test and everything but the right signal is getting power. Any suggestions as to what is going on or how it can be fixed?

Thanks

probably a broken wire or bad wire connector. Start from plug and chase the wire back with a test light

Assume you checked the bulb?

Where are you getting power at the light or trailer plug? Bulb or led lights? From where you have power to the light you have a problem. Tail lights have two filament, one for brake another for turning. If it is an led light you will need to replace.the light.

I am getting power at the plug that is connected to the truck going into the trailer. I have a feeling that something isn't connected right seeing that I just replaced the lights from bulb style lights to LED's. I am not sure why I am getting brake lights but no turn signal. Should I re-wire the side with the problem?

I also do not have a break light on the same side. When I turn the lights on, the light on the right side does work.

Check your connection for the brake/signal wire at the light. Sounds like that is where your problem most likely is.

I'm assuming you have a newer vehicle with a six pin connector. If so, find the ten amp fuse for the side that's out. Probably marked ( TRL BRAKE LT) for brake and left turn on your trailer circuit.

Each circuit on your six pin has its own fuse.

Is your truck engine running when you test the signals? My set-up
only works right if the motor is running.

Thank you for all the help. Whoever rigged the lights before me had two connections between the plug and the wire. The green wire was broke in this section.
