Taillight issues
I am having an issue on my travel trailer where the brake lights work but if I use the turning signal or emergency flashers it pops the fuse on my truck for the LH light and the RH light doesn't flash...

Thanks everyone for the help. I replaced the bulbs and it popped the fuse when I turn the turning signal on. Should I assume at this point that I need to run new wires for the tail lights?
Tracing a wiring fault to the back of a travel trailer can be a hair-pulling event. There are a lot of places where a short can develop or a wire is nearly parted within the jacket, unviewable by visual inspection.
FWIW, when I restored my trailer and replaced all the wiring, I soldered and heat-shrinked any splices. I engineered in one spot that has the 4 wires exposed inside the trailer, aft. If I have a wire issue, I'll at least be able to partly trace the fault. If I was blowing fuses, the only solution would be replacement and I would pull wire through either a hose remnant or flex conduit, fastened to the underside of the trailer.
Good luck with your light issue.
