When I purchased my 2010 Suretrac 7x14 I had problems when you turned on the right turn signal, all the lights on the trailer and truck would flash. Found out that the right rear light bulb had been turned too far in the fixture, causing it to make contact with both filament connectors at the same time. You may have something similar.

They were working good until the other day. I have a spare light that I plugged in and it did the same thing. Thinking I might have a short or bad ground but don't know were to start.

My truck had a collection of "hidden fuses" above the gas pedal under the dash. I had all my lights working except my right brake light couldnt figure out why took it to my mechanic down the street he showed me all the hidden fuses and changed it out. Charged me nothing

Check for a bad or loose ground. Look carefully at the left light mounting.

Repaired the trailer lights to night. The white wire or ground was broke into inside of the plastic casing where it bends and goes to the other side. thanks for all the help.:thumbsup:
