There is most likely damage to the harness further up the vehicle. I'd trace the wiring forward to see if there's anything that damaged it. You checked the "ends" of the wiring where the problems normally are (fuses and corrosion), if the problem isn't there it has to be on the wiring between the two. I attached a couple help articles on trailer wiring for you to check out as well.
