This is not an uncommon situation for your generation of Chevy Silverado. If you remove the cover on the power distribution box, look for a row of larger fuses on the left side of the box (if facing the motor from the front of the truck). If there is no fuse or a blown fuse in the slot closest to the front of the truck in that row then you will need to install a new 40 amp fuse.

If there is no wire attached to the post nearest that fuse location you will have to manually run a wire from that post to the back of the 7-Way using # 10-1-1 sold in increments of 1 foot. I have included a picture and a help article that should help.
