I guess I cringe a little when I see spliced E53 wiring - which is my baggage.


That fact that you have created a bypass (which I presume works? ) from the car side of that connector tells me that the harness from that connector to the trailer plug (trailer side) is bad. I would pull your custom harness out and double check your wiring.
This is the controller I am using for now.

The vehicle side of the connector has the pink terminals.
I can re-attach the vehicle wires back to the vehicle plug, (That I did to check out that CURT 57003 LED-Compatible 7-Way) that is why I installed the pink terminals.

Those 3 pink terminals supply power (brake, L/R turn & park) through the vehicle plug into the trailer plug.(trailer Y,G & Br wire was only used to connect the Hopkins controller to those 3 terminals on the vehicle side)
