Hey Steve, first thing to check is try cleaning the pins of the 7-way with sandpaper as it's pretty common for dirt or corrosion to cause this problem. Next check the wiring behind the 7-way and see if there's anything there you can clean up.
Next check fuses under the hood of the Sierra. It could also be a problem with the 7-way which we have with the part # HM40975 as a replacement.
