I recently towed a very new rental trailer and had no trailer brakes. Unhooking and re-hooking the connector had no effect. After I was finished with it I parked at home. When returning the empty trailer I suddenly had brakes.
I had problems with my own camper trailer previously and found that ( through an alert from GM) certain brands of connectors were not compatible with 2019 through 2021 GM trucks. I installed the compatible brand on my trailer and had not further issues.
It is sad that all 7 pin connectors would not be compatible. Any solutions?
