The brake controller install harness part # 3016 is the correct harness to install a brake controller in a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 like what you have.

We had the chance to use this harness to install a controller in a 2017 Silverado like what you see in the install video I attached below. You might check it out to make sure you are using the correct port for the install of the controller.

Also inspect the condition of the connector to make sure it's not damaged in anyway.
