    Sounds like a ground wire issue. Check the wiring inside the pocket where the light assembly mounts.

    The problem seems to be the trailer. First I thought it was One turn signal, but I think your saying both. It’s still a ground issue. Could be the light cord also. Switch light cords, if you still have the same problem, dismount the socket that goes on the trailer and take a look the ground wire. Before you dismount the socket, check the prongs, sometimes you can spread them slightly to make a better connection.

    I switched the plug where the cord and it still was doing it it just started doing it today and I connected to three different trailers and it was doing it so I don't really know we got to be a ground wire like you said but then I switched the trailer lights into a LED the same that I have on my truck and it started working but when I switch the light bulb back to another bulb but the LAD and it started back doing it but the truck lights work fine it only do it to the trailer
