It sounds like you're not getting power on the 12v circuit on your 7 way connector and you've tested this either with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 or a tester like the # C73NR. It's possible that the fuse for the 12v power on your 7 way connector on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 has blown; I would check the fuse box in the engine compartment and look at fuse # 2 to make sure that it's in good working order. This could be the reason that you're not getting any interior lights turning on in your car hauler. I would start there.

If your fuses are in tact, but you're still not getting power to the 12v circuit (located at 1 o'clock when looking at the vehicle side plug), let me know and I can give you a few other things to look at.
