05 250 SD Tow package question

I'm new to the SD and so far really like the Truck, BUT.... I can't get any power to my 4 pin and no brake, turn or running lites to either of the connectors. All of the relays seem to be in place under the hood and on the drivers side fuse block. I suspect I'm missing something simple and not being very "geeky" can't seem to find the right thread!!

Is there another relay or connector that should be checked? I bought the truck used, and I didn't even have an Owners manuel until my local Dealer Parts guru gave me one off off a shelf!!

I'll be towing up to 5000 # for some short trips so does this vehicle have the integral electric brake controll too??

Thanks for the help guys!!

you have the factory brake controller?

Make sure you check ALL the fuses..under the dash and the hood. There are soo many fueses for the trailer lights..hazzard fuse-under the hood..then there is marker lights and turn signal fuses in the fuse box under the dash under the steering wheel. One of them is blown nothing will work properly...and i think check trailer or soemthing shows up on the dash when trailer is plugged in.
