Check the plug anyway. It will not cost you a thing and will give you somewhere to start.

I'd check the plug too, although I've only ever had issues with aftermarket 7 pins (the wire connections rusted and grounded out).
Never had a problem with a factory GM plug.

Main issue is the door that is spring loaded. They do not make a good seal and break off easily.

:confused2: You know now that I think about it, I had to replace the turn signal \ hazard switch assembly and according to the dealer something had shorted it out. I am wondering now if these issues could have been connected?

If you are refering to my post, I sold that truck last week.

Thanks for the advice, it sounds like I need to check the connections at the back of the truck first.

that's at least where I would start. past that look for interuptions in the brake power line.. next look at the brake power line on the truck.. sometimes no grommets are used and the wire to the magnet rubs on the frame.

Keep in mind I'm getting this error WITHOUT the trailer hooked up.

I have had the same problem with the same controller in my 04 Dodge. I get the error after I run through the car wash and when it wet outside (warm or cold) but seems to last longer in the cold. I've cleaned and greased the connections to the plug with no change. Interestingly when I'm pulling in the rain it has never been a problem (knock on wood). Beyond checking the plug for moisture I have followed the wiring harness from front to back (not as easy as it sounds) I didn't find any damage. I also checked the current output of at the plug when I received the error and compared it to when all was normal and had exactly the same readings. I'll be most interested to know if anyone has identified the problem.
