Had the Same Problem
Similar issue with my Ram diesel, bought a 7-pin pigtail to go between the trailer and the truck since the standard trailer 7-pin cable on the Airstream wasn't long enough with my ProPride hitch installed. Well, it was long enough, but would really stress the cable on left hand turns. Anyway, I bought the parts and was going to build the pigtail, but the guy at the store (horse and farm supply) said he'd do it. Well, he wired to pins wrong. Lights were always on as soon as I plugged into the truck whether the truck was running or not. Once I sorted that out, the position lights on the trailer still remained on when plugged into the truck. Long story longer, as it turns out when I connected the mis-wired pigtail, it blew a fuse on the truck.
Moral of the story: once you get the 7-pin sorted, you might want to take a look at your fuse panel on your truck.
