Another trailer wiring question

I'm battling a trailer wiring issue and I'm trying to diagnose. Everything is pointing to bad ground, I'm just stumped after trying a few things.

Trailer symptoms:

  • Lights work
  • blinker and breaks do not.
  • same symptoms before and after rewiring.

What I've done:

  • Used multi-meter at vehicle plug
    • 14v for lights and blinkers
  • Rewired trailer
    • New wiring harness installed
    • New lights installed(incandescent ). The kind with no ground wire, push in connectors for the wires.
    • Ran separate ground to each light.
      • Lights do not have dedicated ground wire so I used a ring connector and attached to the bolt on light.
      • Both wires connect to a Wago connector near front of trailer then connected to main ground wire at plug.

I'm stumped because I have the same symptoms before and after rewiring. I figured if I have 14v from the plug all should be good from the vehicle side. What can I test next to narrow this issue down?
