Not all Chevy trucks have the tow package wires completely installed from the factory. This means there could be some connections you will have to make under the hood to power the brake controller and the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way trailer connector. I have included a link to a how-to article that explains the under hood connections that need to be made.
I am not sure which video you watched so I have linked another on a 2008 Silverado and a different brake controller that should also help.
