First place I would check is all of the trailer wiring fuses and relays in the fuse box of your 2008 Ford F-250 as it sounds like you may have blown some fuses/relays. Beyond that you can check for corrosion on both sides of the 7-way connector and clean as necessary.
I attached a help article on troubleshooting trailer connectors for you to check out as well.
