Maybe. Do the blinkers work?

Both the blinkers work, and when I turn the head lights on the tailights come on also. When I pull my trailer however, the right turn signal works fine, but when I turn the left signal on, it does not blink, it just stays lit both on the truck and trailer. That only happens when the trailer is hooked up though.

I pull the trailer on other trucks and those all work fine.

I think you need to change your hazard flasher. You can try the blinker flasher is its place.

One thing I know from working on simi trailers is that if there is not a good ground going through the trailer connection, the current is going to attempt to find a ground of its own. I have had many drivers think I was some kind of wizard when I fixed their problem in a matter of minutes. A bad or lifted ground will cause your marker lights on a trailer to blink along with the turn signals.
