Just make sure you have the correct port connection.

This let me hook my thunderbolt display to a 2016 MBP, all the ports on the back of the display work fine as well

This situation may never be a problem for you, unless you, like me, are attempting to connect a Thunderbolt 2 drive to one of the new Thunderbolt 3/USB 3 ports like those found on the new MacBookPros
