You'll want to check fuse location F53 in the fuse box near the battery. The fuse will be a yellow 20A which controls the trailer left turn/stop lamp. Before replacing the fuse, you'll want to closely examine the left turn/stop lamp circuit on the trailer to see if there's a short circuit. Trace the circuit (usually a yellow wire) from the trailer connector rearward until it connects to the taillight assembly. Look for loose connections or pinched or broken wires. Take a close look at the wire insulation, making sure it's not rubbed through or cracked.
I'll link you to a trailer taillight troubleshooting article that you might find helpful.
