I have replaced the lights switch and the tail lights bulbs.
Get the wiring standard for trailer socket on car / caravan .
Something like this

Then get a 12v probe and test the voltage is coming out the correct pins on the car when the tail lights are turned on.

Check the Earth Connections on the caravans tail lights.
Check the Caravan has an earth connection to the car body.

see how pin 3 shows an earth wire it would have a wire on car socket pin 3 going to the car body. If the earth wire is corroded or broken I think the tail lights on the caravan would not work. It may be a different pin on your setup .
