Default Trailer brake and turn signal issues.

I have a 2003 FX4 with the towing package, and attempted to hook up a trailer. The left side brake and blinker would work, however the right would not.
I tested the trailer on my dad's truck and everything lit up perfectly. I checked my plug and there was some corrosion on my factory connector, so I cleaned it and tinkered with it until I cut it off and installed a new one. Even after installing the new connector, I'm still getting the same problem.
If i turn my truck's headlights on the running lights light up, however the right brake and turn still do not work. What's odd is that if I hit the panic button on my truck, all the lights light up. Any suggestions?

There is a separate fuse for your trailer right turn

Went through my fuse panel and swapped the left and right fuses, left was the only one that worked still. I can't figure it out.

Have you tested the plug with a test light?
