All pins in the seven pin trailer connector are supposed to be dead except the always hot 12v charge line when the truck is in a static condition.

Turn on parking lights to get trailer running lights, activate emergency flashers to get power to brake and turn signal lamps, and depress the brake pedal to get 12v at the trailer brake pin.
