On your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness most likely did have the powered converter go bad if the fuses are still good. You can check the power going into and out of that unit using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 as well as both sides of your fuse to make sure the connections are good coming and going from the fuse itself.
If you are interested in another brand of wiring harness because this one failed so soon, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331. I've attached a video of this installation for you as well as a review video.
