Default Sled Deck Plugged In Lose Safety Features

Guys,

I have a sled deck which I use the 4 prong to mate to the 7-pin adapter to plug into the truck to light the marker lights on the sled deck. When I do this, the truck automatically thinks I have a trailer and turns off the BLISS, Back Up Alarm and Cross-Traffic features. Is there a way around this so I can keep the sled deck plugged and still have the features active? Truck is a 2015 Plat. Thanks.

Not following you 100% on this statement. So is it the sled deck that has the 4 pin?? If it is just plug that into the truck and you'll be good to go.

Yes it has a 4-pin male connector. I have it adapted to the 7pin connecter and every time I start the truck it tells me a trailer is connected. If I re-wire it so I plug directly into the 4-pin that will keep the features activated.

You don't have the 4-pin right next to your 7-pin?
