The trailer running light fuse in your 2013 Ram 1500 is fuse J14 in the engine bay fuse box, and is a 20 amp fuse.
If that fuse checks out, and you can verify power is making it through the fuse then you will need to trace the wire going out of the 7-way connector for the 11 o'clock pin as shown in the included diagram, and look for any damage or where it may have come loose.
You will need to replace any damaged sections with # 16-1-1 and heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5.
I included a link to a helpful article on wiring for you to take a look at.
