You may have at least three blown fuses.

One is located very close to the battery terminal and on the older trailers is an IN-LINE fuse. The newer trailer sometimes use a resetable in-line circuit breaker here.

There are two other fuses located on the 12VDC Power Distribution Panle labeled REVERSE POLARITY on my panel.

This is the location of my two reverse polarity fuses. These two 12VDC plu-in fuses are located in the center of the 12VDC fuse panel and are sitting by themself...

First, check battery. Second, battery wiring. Third, all fuses.
