Options for Wiring in 7-Way to 2004 Chevy Silverado

Question:

I hooked up a 7 wire connector for my camper. I tapped into the tail light wires and I do not have any brake lights on my camper when I hit the brakes. Is there any other wires to use for this problem?

Sounds like you wired in a 7-way to your 2004 Chevy Silverado. There should have been a socket there near the rear bumper that would allow a 7-way like the part # HM40975 to install without requiring you to splice anything.

Your truck has separate taillights from the turn signals so it sounds like you wired the stop/turn circuit of the 7-way to just the turn signals of your truck. If you wanted to convert the signal of your truck to combined you would need to wire in the part # RM-732 to the taillight circuits between them and the 7-way.
