Trailer lights not working (issue is w/truck)

My left trailer directional and stop lights are not working on the truck side. I checked the connection and the fuse but all looks good. Brake light works. How can i fix this quickly without going to dealer. Can it be in computer? I figured the fuse would be blown if there were an issue. Thanks for any ideas.

Did you check for corrosion in the plug? Might be worth a shot to pick up some dielectric grease.

There was a TSB for a reflash of the integrated power distrubution module, but I think that was only for 06's.

Situations like this is why I never wire a trailer into any factory-supplied trailer harness.

I always wire my trailer-plugs direct to the source and my marker-lights are always on a switch of their own, completely independent of the factory headlight switch.

I am forever having to bypass the factory mess on various makes and models.(other peoples trucks. I don't own anything new enough to have that stuff)
