First thing to check is to see if there's voltage on the 1:00 pin of the 7-way on your truck. This is the 12 volt accessory circuit which would be what would charge the battery. Most of the time it's just a bit of corrosion on this pin that prevents it from making contact. But if not that it's most likely a blown fuse or relay under the hood.
You can also check to make sure the wiring is complete behind the 7-way too. If not the orange wire in the picture I attached would need to be ran to the 7-way.
