One thing you might want to check is if your factory connector and your trailer wiring is still grounded well. Follow the ground wire from the plug and back and make sure that it is still firmly grounded, and that no pinched or exposed points are touching metal. You will want to check the ground on the trailer connector itself, as well as on any lights or electric trailer brake magnets.
The # PK11893 replacement 7-Way connector is custom fit for the 2005 GMC Sierra 1500, so it should work great on your vehicle.
This plug features the brake light and turn functions on the second pins from the top, on either side. I would double check that your factory harness connector has these functions located on the same pins, in the off chance that there may be a mis-wire situation.
You can see the wiring schematic for the plug by zooming in on the main product picture.
