For a 4-pole trailer connector on your 2006 Silverado, you would need part # HM40975. This will provide your Silverado with both a 4-pole and a 7-way connector. The connector will plug directly into the existing factory harness located above the spare tire.
Tapping a 4 pole into your existing taillight circuits will not work, as you have found.
