Please clarify what is working. Do the taillights work? Does any of the small clearance lights work?
This style of "tester" can lead to a lot of wasted time. Yes, if you plug it in, and get no light out of the LEDs, you have a problem with the TV. But what happens way to often is you plug it in, all LEDs light as they should. So you "know" something is wrong with the trailer. Spend hours chasing ghosts around, take apart things, open no telling how many places to cause problems later. Finally you give up, call somebody that knows what they are doing. One stand of wire making contact will carry enough power to light that little LED right at the end of that short wire. Put the load of the longer wire, and many larger lights (even LED) and it will not carry. "Testers" like that are made to sell not to use.
I have worked on many light systems, mostly for guys that had to move, and had to have working lights to move. 1 light out? Start at light. More than 1? Start with ground.
