Default Trailer Lights Nightmare

Installed brand new trailer light kit today and the passenger side works great but the drivers side trailer light stays lit like the break is on and the blinker does not work>?

Checked all wiring, checked the adapter to make sure the pins are in the right place, removed the trailer wire harnes to the suv, made sure all the pins are in the correct place with the adapter, ground was loose, fixed it, ground had broke away from the trailer to that I had just put on when I took it to the store to get some dip, Fixed that also. sitll no dice, messing with the wiring inside the light that stays lit, seems fine, turned on hazzard lights 5 times still nothing.
sitting here with what's left of my hair in my hand that I pulled out.

Do you have a test light? Seems that you have power on the connection at the suv. You need to work from the light forwards until you find where the short is. What connector do you have, 7 way round or 4/5 flat?

First, make sure it's not the fixture. Switch it with the one that does work correctly. If it stays the same it's in the wiring, if not then it's in the fixture. Once you have that resolved, take a test light and check each wire to ground of your trailer to make sure there's no short. If there's no short then it's in your plug.

Sounds like you reversed teh yellow and brown wires when you hooked them up.
