My trailer lights got pulled apart at the trailer, doesn't look like it pulled any wires from inside the van. Now I have no brake lights and my turn signals only flash at the front right.

Good afternoon,

I attached a diagram for you of the light system. The power for the lights comes from the body control module. Signals are sent to the module from the brake light switch and the turn signal switch and once those signals are received, it will send power to the correct lamps.

Check the stoplight relay for power. I highlighted the relay in the diagram for you to test for power. The signal wire comes from the body control module and grounds the control side of the relay for the brake lights to come on.

I attached the connector for the body control module with the pins for the output. Check for voltage at the connector.
