2018 x lite running lights not working

I’m in the process of de-winterizing my RV. Just had it inspected the same week and passed inspection. I doubt they checked the running lights but regardless they are not working. I’m not sure where to begin other than check the bulbs but doesn’t make sense as the brake and turn signals work fine. I’m thinking it’s a loose or faulty wire. Any suggestions on how to detect where the issue is.

Start at the plug with a multimeter. Then work your way back.

Also check the fuse in the TV. Most TVs have a separate set of fuses for the trailer connector.

Thanks! This was very helpful. Come to find out after checking the continuity in all the wires. It was the plug cord from the SUV to the RV. Their was some corrosion inside. Planning on going to the store to get something to help clean it out for a better connection.
