E450 Trailer Lights, Stop Lights - no Turn Signal?

I have double-checked my wiring on the toad, but this has me flumaxed;

1. toad lights work
2. toad brake lights work
3. no left turn signal on the toad
4. right turn signal causes both toad lights to flash

I notice that Ford uses a Relay for the trailer turn signals, could I have a bad Relay, since the brake lights work fine?

The turn signals are normally amber in color. With these two platforms, 4 basic combinations can be encountered as follows:
