It sounds like there might be a little corrosion in your trailer connector and when you unplugged and replugged in the connector you were able to make a good connection. You might inspect the connectors for any corrosion and clean as necessary. That should get rid of the problem.
Or the first time you plugged in the connector it was not all the way plugged in.
I attached an FAQ article on trailer wiring for you to check out also.
