    Tail lights probably have their own ground wire, whereas the marker lights work off the trailer frame. I'd look for a bad ground or disconnected ground wire in the trailer harness or on the frame.

    Trailer lights and truck lights are separate wiring. You likely have a blown fuse in your truck for trailer tail lights.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Best odds are this, along with a short somewhere in the running light circuit that overloads it.
    Check the brown wire sometimes it gets a bare spot and contacts the frame.

    Took the truck to the dealer ,gave it a quick going through some of the fuses. Going to leave it for them next week for a day. service manager said it was something to do with a relay . Hope they can get this squared away soon ,and NOT a major issue .
