Had a problem with a right, amber side marker on right side

Had a problem with a right, amber side marker on my trailer. The side marker worked by grounding to the trailer. I had to replace the bulb due to it burning and creating an electrical problem. I worked with it prior to going out, and they all worked. Later all the lights (running) were out. Brakes, and both turn signals worked. After jiggling the wires on the side marker, all lights came on again, then went off. Finally, I bought a new side marker. The new side marker, which has 2 wires (brown and white) does not ground to the trailer, to work. I can also switch either way and the side marker still works. Now, running lights on the left side work, both turn and stop lights work but the right side running lights does not work. It can't be a fuse because the left side running lights work. Could it be a bulb on the right rear that connects all my lower middle lights not to work?

Usually one of the holes in the marker light where screw goes in, has metal contact where screw meets light, but if not, and they are not push in wire connection type from behind, then just run your white wire up through hole in housing, and bare the end & tighten it up under screw holding light to body. White should be ground, brown should be power.

Why would only one out of 4 marker lights work?

you are right all marker lights come off of one fuse, inside instrument panel, number 29, a 10 amp fuse my manual does not give a lamp number, it has a chart, head lamps (high) lamp 9005 60 w type a, headlamp (low) 9006 51 w type b, front marker lamps 5w type d, for the rear it says to use a lamp 7443 21.5 w type d, I do not use these, I have special lights on mine, hope that it helps

I have a 2005 porsche 997. What does "check right side marker" mean? All of my lights are illuminated? Thanks Scott

Side marker lights provide extra illumination at night and during times of poor visibility to help other drivers and pedestrians see the vehicle. Side marker lights are standard equipment on buses, trailers, cars, trucks and some work and utility vehicles. My porsche macan works like this.

2001 Dodge Ram 2500, no running lights on trailer

The truck is protecting itself from the load impose by the trailer.. Chk the plug on the truck for wire gauge size. Turn any electrical loads off on the trailer, any and all.

So ck the inverter for defect byturning off the inverter on one of the trailers.
