I replaced the bulbs all the way around for the back brake,turn, and running lights along with the front amber turn signals. I have back turn signals and back brake lights but no running lights and no front amber turn signals. What could be the issue?

is your ball rusty? ... wire brush it and spray it with wd40 and/or check the ground. 80% of the time i've had problems, it's with the ground.

I had same issue last night on right side. Brakes and turn but no tail and side. First thing is test light the plug at the vehicle. If that's good then you know it's something in the trailer. Should be your brown wire. Start at the taillight and work toward the front with your test light light. I just poked the point of the test light through the wire insulation while the clip is attached to a GOOD ground. I didn't have juice on the back side where the split went to the side marker light but did have juice before that. So I suspected the connection. Cut that, cleaned the wires up and re-did with a heat shrink connector and its good to go. A bad ground can do goofy things too though, like some lights still working.

The connector on my truck the brown terminal was caked with corrosion. So I cleaned it up and everything works great! Thanks guys
