It's most likely a blown fuse under the hood of your 2016 Ford F-350 that's not allowing the charge circuit of your 7-way to be active. That would be what you should check first. Next make sure there's no corrosion on the 12 volt pin of the 7-way. This would be the pin in the 1:00 position. It's very common that corrosion prevents trailer wiring circuits from working properly. If the connector ends up being damaged you can replace it with the part # HM40975 for a 7 and 4-way connector.
Another option you have would be to bypass the factory wiring and run a 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) from the 12 volt pin to the positive battery post through a breaker # 9510 and you'll have the circuit active.
