2017 (standard length) EXP with HD trailer tow. Trailer brake controller and all trailer lights work great. The truck recognizes that a trailer is connected. However the 12v trailer charging is not powered.

I have checked at the trailer battery with the engine running, doors closed, and trailer battery at 12.6v. I would expect 13+ if it were charging.

All underhood fuses and relays are checked and present. Although I am unsure which fuse powers the 7-pin, as there are multiple fuses labeled with "trailer tow" in the owner's manual.

Is there an extra relay or fuse that needs to be added somewhere? Anything else obvious to check?

Thanks
