Expert Reply:
Sounds like your trailer doesn't have a sufficient enough of a ground circuit to allow the functions to all work like they should. Try improving the main ground circuit of the trailer if you can and that should fix the issue. Make sure the wire is connected solidly to a clean metal surface. You can also try running ground wires for all of the lights back to the main ground and that should help as well.
