Cut wire in travel trailer I have a question

I was doing some work in my new to us 15 ft travel trailer .While cutting the wall i cut an electric wire in half.
My question is its towards the back of the trailer and it seems the only thing that isnt working is one outlet.But i aloso noticed my tail lights arent working.Im not sure if they were working before i did this because we are renivating it.
Long way around to ask does the inside electrical have anything to do with the tail linghts.

Your inside outlet power is 110V.
Your taillights are 12V.

The wire to the outlet is 3 conductor romex. Should be easy to identify that. The wire(s) to the light are separate wires and probably run in the frame, under the trailer. But they could run anywhere.

your trailer wires should be brown ,green yellow and white , find both ends and do a proper repair.

No. You've cut more than one wire.
