Buy a ten dollar volt meter and test the socket while the front
turn signal is lit for power. Then make a continuity test for ground.
No power, go back a notch into the harness connections and trailer
wiring, still no power, pull the steering wheel and usually you be able
to see the melted points in the switch from a bad short to trace.
