Are the tail lights lighting up when the headlights are on but the signals and brakes don't work or is there no power at all?
Still thinking about this, but here is what I am thinking right now... First, I don't believe this to be a grounding issue as the lights are working...just not in the correct order. What I'm wondering is if the signal wire and the running light wires are switched on the tail lights. What color are the leads coming out of the light? Are they white, black and red or are they color coded for the trailer (white, brown, yellow and white, brown, green)...or...are they just red and black? If just red and black with no white, the ground is the bolt that secures the trailer to the frame.
Here's my humble hope in this: If the signal/brake lights work when your headlights are off, my gut says the lights will not be very bright when the signal or brakes are on or blinking. When you turn on the headlights, the lights are bright, but the signals don't work.
If this is the case, I feel all you may need to do is switch the wires at the connection, then retest... My hope is all you have is to switch the wires up at the tail light connection.
If the lights are not coming on, we have a little more to figure out...
