My trails west bumper pull trailer running lights are working but brake lights and flashers aren’t working. Everything is fine with the truck. Ideas?

Try plugging into a different truck.....that will isolate the problem to the truck or to the trailer

Try checking the truck's receptacle with a meter or  light. If you have power there, the problem will be in the trairer's wiring, usually the plug.

So what was it?
Corrosion in the plug on the trailer?
