What is wrong is almost certainly a poor ground. You mentioned the bulb is fine and the harness is fine so you need to check the ground connection, making sure your grounds are securely attached to bare metal surfaces free of any paint, dirt or corrosion of any kind.
I've added links to a pair of help articles on trailer wiring that you may also find useful.
