Based on what you are describing it sounds like you have an insufficient ground. Make sure your ground connection is secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. This could be on the vehicle side or the trailer side so I would make sure to check ground connections on both.
I have attached a helpful article on troubleshooting 4-way wiring for your reference.
