Re: electrical problem
Either the bulb has blown out or the fixture has lost it's ground. The
fixture can lose the ground when folks put brush guards on or from
serious rust, but likely it is the bulb.
When they lose fixture ground or filament, the brake light circuit will
steal it through the running light filament that is wire harness
grounded.

Re: electrical problem
Do you have the correct harness for your trailer, the one with
