Since you lost all of the signals at once on one side of the trailer that makes me think you have a ground problem on that assembly. Most lights ground through the mounting hardware so make sure your light is mounted to a clean metal surface. Or you can run a jumper wire from the mounting hardware (or ground wire if equipped) back to the frame or the main wiring connector of the trailer.
I attached a link to a troubleshooting guide for trailer wiring for you to check out as well.
