The issue you are facing is the hyperflashing and lower capacity issue with LED lights. If you have the factory tow package then you just need the Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV - Vehicle End # 20142 along with the 4 way adapter you are already utilizing.

If you only have the 4-way connection, then you will add the LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor Kit # DI34ZR to each wire function you desire to use. This will give you a resistance similar to an incandescent bulb to prevent hyperflashing and lamp out light sensor from showing connection issue.
