If you're near the San Antonio area, I can help you out. Otherwise at this point, it sounds like you're going to need to head down to the dealer so they can test it for you and if it's fine, take the trailer to a shop and have them test that its wiring job checks out. While you're there, have them remove the 6 pin connector and put a 7 blade on it. I apologize but don't feel like we are going to get anywhere on this one over the internet.

ok, thanks for your help. Changing out the 6 pin and ditching the adapter worked!!!
Except now I'm realizing that my trailer's green wire, or right blinker and right stop, doesn't work. I switched the left tail light and right tail light, and still nothing changed. So it must be the wire. Just trying to figure the fastest and easiest way to figure out where the wire goes bad. I have a multimeter with sharp probes, so maybe I can poke holes in the rubber wire to figure where it loses power.

Unfortunately, electrical woes and troubleshooting are really hard to explain over the internet...
