Since you have already checked your fuses you will need to trace the 12 volt wire from the 7-way on your 2017 Ram 1500 and check it for any damage or crimps; you will need Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 for this to check the wiring along different points and then when you find the issue you can repair or replace it.
Other wise, the best option and what will resolve the issue is to run your own # 10-1-1 wire from your 7-way to the battery via Circuit Breaker # PK54530
