Why Would Camper Stop/Turn Signals Not Work but Running Lights Would
Question:
My running lights work on my camper but my brake and turn signal lights do not work. Can you help me?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since both sides of the stop/turn signals stopped working that would indicate to me you have an insufficient ground that can't keep up with the amperage draw of the stop/turn circuits. So I would recommend checking the grounds of the light assemblies and also the ground strap from the main trailer connector to make sure it's making a solid connection to clean metal.
I also attached a help article on troubleshooting trailer wiring for you to check out as well.
