Expert Reply:
In regards to the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Trailer Connector part # HM48503, the left turn "LT" and right turn "RT" signals are the only ones that should be flashing while activated. If you have other circuits flashing that means there is a short between circuits. I first recommend opening up the connector and seeing if you find any corrosion. If not, the issue could be on the vehicle so take a circuit tester and test the pins inside the trailer connector. If not, the issue is on the trailer and you'll need to start tracing wires.
I have attached a few photos below that will help with taking the connector apart.
