brake light on trailer not working (LED's)

[CoveSeeker]

I installed some LED lights on the trailer last year.
Apparently the brake light is not working on one side. Could this be a wiring problem?
Do you think I can repair the problem or would I have to order a replacement?
Thank you,
Paul

Need to check for voltage back at the light. If there is no voltage there, check for voltage at the vehicle connector. Assuming the light works with your running lights on, it won't be a ground issue.

Check your vehicles owner manual to see if you have a specific fuse for trailer/tow brakelight/turn signal.I had a similar problem and found that it was a fuse that I was not aware existed till looking at the owners manual.

Its probly your plug on your tow vehicle or the plug on your trailer. I just put some LED's on my trailer and only one was working. But when I wiggled the plug, it came on. So I replaced the plugs on both, and now all is well.
