Expert Reply:
I would recommend checking the running light circuit on your trailer. Specifically, check out the point where the circuit splits to run down each side of the trailer. I would be willing to bet that the 'leg' of the connection that runs down the side of the trailer where the lights are having issues is not completely secure.
I would also recommend checking the ground connection point on the trailer. This is usually found on the trailer tongue. Make sure that this connection is securely made to clean metal. Make sure that each lamp is grounded to the trailer frame.
If this does not correct the problem, get back with me and we will look into other possibilities.
