Left Turn Signal And Brake Lights Not Working On 2013 Volkswagen Touareg
Question:
Hi, I’m pretty sure I have everything hooked up right. All works on the trailer except left signal/brake light. When I turn on headlights the left bulb comes on. Tried connecting to another vehicle and everything worked as it should. Any ideas? TIA

It sounds like it could be a weak ground. Check to make sure your grounding point on the vehicle is on a nice piece of metal that is clean and free of rust or paint. It is also a good idea to check the connectors coming off the vehicle with a circuit tester # PTW2993 to verify they are in proper functioning order and is receiving the correct voltage.
I have attached a help article to aide you in your troubleshooting.
