Trailer lights work except left turn signal (other left side lights work) and right tail light (right brake and turn signals work). I've replaced the bulbs, which is about all I'm qualified to do by myself. Any ideas? All lights are working on the car.

Check the wires where they connect to your vehicle. Wiggle them around a little and make sure all are tight. Trace the wires from the taillight to the connection on the trailer. Check the wire connections to the trailer light. Make sure you have a solid connect with the white ground wire. There is also a fuse just for trailer lights on some vehicles.
I am no expert but had a trailer that gave me fits. I finally just bought all new lights and wires.

make VERY VERY sure your lightrs have a GOOD ground to each and every light. I rewired mine and ran a GREEN wire from each light to a junction block then from there to the tow vehicle ( I think mine is a white wire out of the pplug) without a good ground, nothing works

I actually hard wired the white wire on the trailer side to the trailer frame to ensure a good conneciton. Do not depend on the hitch to provide good ground continuity.
