Helpful Expert Reply:
I looked up your owners manual in a web search and was able to find that fuse 33 in the fuse box in the passenger side of your cab is one place to check. Relay 44 and relay 56 in the engine bay power distribution box also impact that 12v Power at your trailer connector.
With relays testing isn't easy so simply replacing them with one you know works is the best option. Then you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test your 7-way at the 1 o'clock position for power.
