Hey all, I know this thread is old but I am having the same problem multiple of you have mentioned here. When I turn on the right turn signal, both turn signals on the trailer blink. When I step on the brakes only the right brake works. The left blinker works with no issues. Running lights all good. Anyone ever fix this problem? I replaced the female connector on the truck and it still does the same thing. I have tried multiple trailers and it does the same.

Any help? Thanks

When the trailer is not connected do the lights work correctly? If not I would replace the flasher module they have problem here is the location. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

The lights on the truck always work normally with or without the trailer plugged in. The trailer works normal on all other vehicles but mine. When I took part the 7 prong female plug on the truck side, it is sending a signal for the left and right blinker (or hazard lights?) When I turn on the right blinker. The left blinker operates normally on the trailer when I signal left on the truck.

It sounds like the trailer wiring or the truck plug wiring is the issue. Here is the trailer wiring so you can check the power output:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.
