Default 7 way wire harness

We have a 2003 Grand Caravan and I just purchased a 7 way connector (part number 82208491AB) the install was simply a plug and play type and fairly straight forward. However once I was done and going to test it, this is were I encountered the problem. All the lights work ( on trailer and van. running lights ,left/right signal) except the brake lights on both the trailer and the van itself. Now when I unplug the harness all lights including brakes return to working order. So i guess my question is are the brake lights not working because I do not have my brake controller hooked up yet or is there something else going on.
Thanks for any help.

Welcome to DF
Did the connector come with instructions? And is that a Mopar part number?

Yes thats the PN on the package the harness came in, as far as instructions go there was about 8 pages of simple diagrams, like I said the actual install was fairly simple.

Either the instruction has a mis-print or forgot to add a step to the instructions. Or the place you brought the part at, sold you the wrong part.

Thanks for all the help I called the dealer today and was informed he sold me the wrong part that harness is for 2004-2007 even after I asked him to double check the first time. Oh well I guess we all make mistakes.
