I would start by inspecting your connector for corrosion or debris that could affect your connection points. If they need cleaned, I would give that a go and try the connector again.

Next, I would check your ground connections for corrosion, stacked rings, or if it's loosely mounted. A wire brush, reset or tightening down would be in order.

If that has not helped, using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the pins on the connector where the wiring harness plugs into the truck is next. Included is a video showing how to do this.

A replacement connector like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C55774 would be in order then next if none of these measures helped. This kit provides both a 4-way and 7-way connector with replacement mounting bracket. Included are video resources with additional information to review regarding these solutions.
