Help with trailer lights

[heathenistic]

2006 UFP with TR20X. Lights worked fine two weeks ago (just pulled out of garage to clean garage). Yesterday I hooked up to go on 1st fishing trip and no lights. I have power to lights but none come on except the backup lights and they are very very dim. This is with the truck lights on but not in reverse. Any help would be appriciated.

OK all grounds are good.
Trlr step pad, reverse lights on but dim
No LEDs are on
power to all lights but week
where to go now
Thanks for all the replies. It was the round trailer plug. The inside had rusted and dripped rust onto another wire which inturn caused a cross short (hence the dim reverse lights on while truck parking lights were on). Thanks to everyone and remember the golden rule....KISS, check the plug guts first.

Probably a bad ground or pinched wires.

Check the white wire where it connects to the metal on the tongue.

Ground is bad

Had that happen to me a few years back. Take the nut/bolt out of the tongue where the ground wire is hooked up and clean the area with a steel brush and the nut/bolt on a grinding wheel brush. Worked perfect for me. Good Luck.
