Expert Reply:
Main cause for trailer taillights not working is a bad ground. Nearly every trailer wiring problem comes down to a ground not being clean or sufficient. Try improving the grounds of the assembly and the trailer and the trailer light should start working again.
Typically the left turn blinker uses a yellow colored wire but not all trailers are wired with the industry standard colors.
I attached a couple help articles for you to check out as well.
