With the OE controller, any reasonable person would expect it to be functional as delivered. If that's not the case, I wouldn't hesitate in raising hell with the dealer and for damn sure wouldn't pay anything for them to make it operational. You already paid for that option when you bought the truck.

You can check if everything is functioning with a light tester and a friend. You won't have to guess, you'll know.
