Hello,
If you have traced out the wires and your sure the connections are good.
First use a 12 volt test light on the new plug you installed on the pickup. Ground the test light and probe the plug holes. The plug should light the test light at one hole when the brake pedal is depressed. Another hole should light the test light with the parking lights on etc.
Also, make sure you have a GOOD ground between the trailer and the truck.
Hope that helps some
