Right brake light and turn signal question

On the way back from a fishing trip, I noticed my right brake light and turn signal dont work on my Caracal trailer. Ive not done a lot of trouble shooting yet, but I did plug in two spare lights and they have the same issue. So I assume its in the wiring someplace. The ground seems to be good as the tail light and running lights work on that side. Is there a fuse in the truck maybe that could be bad? Im thinking maybe the pigtail that plugs into the light may be bad. Anyone have a clue?

If the truck works then it is probably not a fuse though a problem in the harness between the truck and trailer or maybe even the light itself.

Hmm…the truck brake lights and turn signal does work. If its in the harness, can I buy a new one from BCB? Its a 2015 trailer and has the coiled wire, in other words no way to change the plug, Id need the entire harness, coiled wire and plug. Not sure where that coiled harness attaches to the trailer wires in the trailer tongue. I have ordered a new light, but I really doubt its the light. I have two spares(not Glo Lights) Ive plugged in and they dont work either.

Odds are its just a connection in the GREEN wire on the right side of the frame rail.
