If you don't have power to some of the trailer towing circuits when testing at the connector, about the only thing you can do is check the fuses/relays in the fuse box. If you're unsure of which locations to check, simply reference your vehicle's owners manual or the underside of the fuse box lid/cover. The next step would be to replace the connector altogether using the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket part # HM40975 (bracket can be discarded). If this doesn't work, you'd have to take the vehicle into the dealer for service.
