Check no.2 on the fuse block see below, if its okay do a voltage check on the brown wire at the taillight socket no power there, its coming from the headlight switch. There's nothing in between the switch and the taillight to prevent it from coming On such as relay etc.

Hello, as far as the tail lites, I'd check voltage feed to the headlite switch, Also check fuse 4--15amp, check that the fuse circuit is hot. The brown wire at the switch carries voltage to the tail lites, check that wire for voltage, with the switch activated.

I can't tell about your trailer wiring connection. For the vehicle, brown wire is voltage for tail lamps, black is ground. Low voltage won't blow a fuse.
