It sounds like either the tester might have a faulty indicator or you are not getting power to the left turn/brake wire. A Test Light # PTW2992 would help to determine if this circuit went bad on your tester or the issue is in the vehicle.

If you still have no power to the left turn/brake you will want to inspect the connectors through the harness to ensure that there are no missing/damaged pins inside a connector or a damaged fuse/relay.

The weak brake circuit light is normal with a proportional brake controller as it does not sense the inertia required to provide full braking to the trailer axles.
