It sounds like there may either be an issue with the ground, or on the power circuit of that particular wire. If the LED lights that you're using only have a single wire, they're going to ground via the mounting hardware so you'll want to verify that they are firmly attached to the trailer. If you've got a ground wire for all of the lights and other electrical functions on the trailer, you'll want to make sure that it is firmly connected to a paint and rust free spot on the trailer's frame.

I would also take this time to make sure that the power wire connected to this light has a solid connection. If you find that it's a little bit loose, go ahead and improve the connection. We do recommend using butt connectors like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector # DW05745-10 to make your connections as solid as possible when installing trailer wiring.

If the light still is having issues after checking these two things out, please let me know and I can continue to troubleshoot.
