Troubleshooting Error Message Week After 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Kit Install

Question:

Purchased this for my 2018 ram 2500 w/factory tow package to add a 5th wheel plug in my bed. Install was straight forward. Checked proper function after install and everything worked as it should. I have not actually used the plug or the factory plug since but today I got a check trailer wiring message? Everything is plugged together tightly. Any ideas? This is kind of a bummer I gotta say...

It's not common at all to see the type of error message you received after installing the # A10-7007. The install is usually very solid and rarely is there an issue. Since it happened a week later you might check the condition of the wiring and the connectors to make sure everything is still plugged in like it should be and no highway debris damaged the wiring. Also check the original connector for any corrosion on the pins of the connectors as that is a very common problem.
