For your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado you will have to splice into the factory wiring to use the 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 to connect the left and right turn signals, along with the green wire.

You can also combine this harness # PP20-702 with a 4 pole harness like the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM38138.

I am trying this exact setup today. While the break light doesn't blink when the breaks are applied with a turn signal, the light is blinking when I remove my foot from the break with either turn signal on. Is my new module faulty?

@Will Not necessarily, what you're describing sounds like a grounding issue so I'd suggest checking the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. You'll want to make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface, or if not you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground.

@BryceD initially tried using the 4 way pin connector but have now tried going straight to Truck frame for ground but still blinks

@Will Interesting, it sounds like there may be some back feed from the brake circuit. I recommend installing some a diode # RM-690 on the brake wire to fix it.
