If you are attempting to run trailer lighting without a powered adapter you will blow the bulb out sensor. It is not designed to take the load. The root cause of the problem is an overload that caused sensor failure. Probably one or more open or burned resistive coils. Certainly not worth the effort to fix but Bentleys has a diagram of the sensor.
