It sounds like the wiring harness, # 22292, may not be pinned out the same as the 2011 Ford F-150. What you can do is use a circuit tester, like # PTW2993 if needed, and check the functions on the truck side plug to see if they match how the wiring harness is pinned out. If it is not correct, you can adjust it as needed.

The other possibility is a loose or bad ground connection at the brake controller or at the trailer connectors. While checking the trailer connectors, also check for any dirt or corrosion and, if present, clean it out.
