Could be a bad earth, or like my plugs last year. I had a side light out, new bulb, still out. I had to change both plugs for a 13 pin plug anyway; the black plug when unscrewed, fell apart, all the pins were rusty, same with the grey, I did wonder how I had any power to the caravan at all.

Bad earth connections in the caravan or car, corroded pins in the plugs or even the car socket, process of elimination.

i agree with CHRISROGERS , i had a similar problem , try spraying WD40 on your plug and the socket on the towbar of your car

Hi,
All of the 7 pin N & S plugs use lightly plated steel for the connectors.

WD40 tends to vapourize, so I have always used marine white grease (also called water pump grease). This actually displaces water and some contacts have never shown any corrosion after ten years of outdoor use.
