RE: [A/S] Brake question

These modern(?) brake controllers use an accelerometer (a pendulum device)
to energize the trailer brakes in conjunction with the tow vehicle brake
light switch.

So, if your brake light to brake controller lead is not connected properly
(the most likely cause of your problem) the controller won't energize the
trailer brakes. In addition, if there is no slowing down of the tow vehicle
(no accelerometer input - testing while parked) you are not going to get
much braking current to the trailer brakes either.

Note that manually actuating the controller bypasses both of the above
inputs.
