Expert Reply:
On some GM vehicles, there are some additional connections that need to be made under the hood to provide the 12 volt power to the 7-Way. We usually see this on trucks but it is possible that the full-size vans and SUVs could have the same problem. I have included a link to an FAQ that will help.
It is also possible that everything is hooked up under the hood but a fuse could just be missing or blown. You can consult the vehicle owners manual and/or the legend on the power distribution box lid for the location of the fuse related to the 12 volt power to the trailer connector.
