Expert Reply:
The issue you are having with your running lights and brake/turn signals is going to be caused by a poor ground. The poor ground could be either on the vehicle side or trailer side. I recommend that you first re-ground the vehicle side trailer connector. If this does not fix your issue then re-ground the trailer side trailer connector. If this still does not fix your issue then run a ground wire from each light up to the main trailer ground. This issue comes up often and it is almost always an issue with a poor ground.
