trailer brake problem - 7/1/2008 9:30:40 AM

I hooked my 06 duramax up to my trailer. The right brake and turn signal won''t work but the running light does. So I thought the bulb was burnt out on the trailer. I tested it and it wasn''t. So then I thought the trailer had a wiring problem. So I plug my 01 truck into it and the right brake and signal worked fine. So I know the problem is in the duramax truck. So I checked the fuze for the right trailer signal and it wasn''t burnt out. Then I tested the plug-in and it wouldn''t work there. So it is somewhere from the fuze box to the plug-in. Does anyone know where else to look or has anyone else had that problem?

ok i went back out and read the manual and everything and i couldn''t figure it out. I used my test light on the right trailer signal/brake one and it didn''t work. So I tried replacing it and the new one didn''t work and the old one didn''t look blown. I took the new one out and stuck the test light down in there and nothing. So what could be the problem then?
