I just went through this very thing. The 03-05 trucks have relays in the PDM (fuse box) that control your left, right and driving lights. The relays go bad. Couple years ago I split the fuse box open and replaced the 3 relays with the 30 amp Zetter relays. Problem solved, for a while.

Within the last year I have been having intermittent issues with my right trailer turn/brake light. When you have your turn signal on, take the cover off your fuse box and listen. If you hear clicking from the fuse box you either have a bad contactors in the relay, or a broken wire. Most likely you will hear nothing. If that is the case check fuse #46. If the fuse is good then you may have a bad relay, PDM or FCM. In my case it turned out to be the FCM acting up.

One of the most stupid designs I have ever seen.

I finally got fed up with it and installed one of these and remove the trailer light function from the PDM altogether.

If you are trying to check for voltage at the plug on the rear bumper, the factory wire colors on my 04 were yellow (left turn/brake) green (right turn/brake) and brown (driving lights). I was amazed Chrysler used these colors.
