    I guess I should have a little more precise on what I meant by "socket on the truck". You'll probably need the 7 way harness for the truck, which basically is a 7 way socket with a pigtail that connects to the truck wiring through a connector.

    Likely just the 7 way plug. Undo two bolts and unplug it from wire harness. Plug new one in and away you go. 10 min fix.

    I’m hoping I have a lose wire in the trucks socket receptacle. Remember all my other lights work in the truck and trailer

    And that’s why I’m saying it’s likely the plug. Stop and think about it. Marker/tail light circuits have constant power all the time while lights are on. That draws salt in. Signals/brake light circuits never ever fail as often.
