towing package

Ok I've checked every fuse, even consulted the owners manul for fuses I might be missing. I can't find anything wrong, the wiring looks good. What I'm talking about is my brake controller. I used the factory supplied pigtail in the glove box. The Truck came with a towing package ( '00 F150 ) and I found where the little plug in goes under the dash BUT I still get no lights, nothing from the brake controller. Any web sites you guys know about to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

Have you checked the special fuse box under the hood ?

Are you sure the brake control wire is run all the way back to the trailer plug? (usually blue)

when you hook it into the factory supplied wiring harness AND the truck came with a factory towing package, isn't the wire already there? No lights green or otherwise come on. the controller seems dead and it is brand new.
