Welcome aboard! What rig are we talking about? Tell us the year, make, and model of your trailer.

Is the fixture LED or does it have an incandescent bulb? If it's LED it's likely a fixture replacement. If a bulb, then replace with a compatible LED bulb.

If it's a bulb then it's easy to use a meter to quickly check that you're getting 12v to the fixture when the switch is on. If not then you'll have to remove the fixture to check power.

Greetings -

There are several reasons for the light to quit working. The bulb is burned out, or the switch has gone bad - I replaced two in my rig over the years, or the wiring has disconnected from either the light or the switch, or the light fixture has failed or the wiring in the wall has failed - the last two items I doubt occurred, but you never can tell...

The first three can be easily assessed and repaired. The bulb and switch replacement are the cheapest!
