Hey Anita, welcome back! The newer GM trucks, like your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500, have a power management system that regulates the amount of voltage sent through the 7-way connector. This causes all sorts of issues with cameras, trailers with LED lights, and adapters.

The 7-Way to 4-Way/5-Way Trailer Adapter for Vehicles with Lamp-Out Sensors Towing Trailers with LEDs item # C35FR has been a reliable solution to solving issues like yours. It has load resistors built in which allows/tricks your truck into thinking a trailer is connected that draws more amperage.

What adapter are you currently using and does your trailer have LEDs?
