On my 2017, I have to press the brake pedal before the trailer gets 12v power to the battery circuit. Try that.

You don't charge you trailer batteries while driving down the road? You should have 12v to at the trailer connector as long as the key is ON.

Yes, I do charge the trailer batteries. But the truck has a "feature" that won't start power flowing to the trailer until AFTER the brake pedal has been pressed after you connect the 7 pin (and the engine is on I believe). I've tested this on mine and it will NOT start just because you connect the 7 pin. This question/issue comes up quite a bit on the 2017+ subforum.

Interesting, I wonder what the thought was regarding this "feature"? Pin 4 is the 12v I believe.
