Hooked my boat yesterday and my left rear light stayed on after turning my truck off also no brake light and turn on left side just lights up . All other is working fine Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Sounds like you shorted out the converter box of your boat trailer wiring. The way the lights are illuminating is a classic indicator of a shorted converter box. Did you back the trailer in water with the wiring connected and then it stopped working? If so, the water shorted out the converter box and now it would need to be replaced.
