Have you double checked your fuses? That would be my first step. Will figure out which ones and where when I get home tonight if nobody beats me to it.

Since the turn signals work on the trailer that would indicate the plug and its harness on the GC are ok since the turn signals and brake lights use the same pins.
It would also indicate the bulbs and harness on the trailer are ok since the brake and turn signals use the same element of the dual element bulbs.
That leaves only one thing that I can think of and that's the towing brake light relay or it's associated wiring. If I'm remembering right there are 3 relays, one for each turn signal and one for brakes. I can't swear to it but I think the relays are located behind the driver's side rear panel in the cargo area.
