On my 2017 E19 I have the 5 lights running along the rear of the trailer. The passenger side LED light is faulty and according to my ground crew noted it only had about 3 LEDs flicker briefly when the turn signal was applied. Since returning from our trip this has moved up the to do list. Can anyone who has investigated the same problem with the passenger side light, give me an idea of the wiring and site of connection points?
Multimeter in hand I'll have to check power and ground. I hope its something simple and worst case needing to replace the light that is Dicor sealed to fibreglass.
Now digging deeper since connecting truck to trailer. Bottom rear light strips both sides are working. Upper lights, sides and centre 3, have odd operational pattern with some lights or no lights lit. Can't make sense of running, brake and turn operation. Since problem appears to be upper lights, occurring all at same time and scattered on/off LEDs I am thinking a poor ground. Any ideas?

You may be on the right tack. Check the grounds, recheck and clean them and work your way forward. A ground is your likely best place to start. After that...??keep working the problem. Assume nothing, clean every connection.
