It's going to be a couple of weeks before I can get back to where the trailer is to deal with this. I appreciate everyone's input and ideas.

This unit has sat for 3 years in storage so I can guess that bleeding the brakes is a excellent idea then trying the brakes both with the truck controller and the breakaway control and see if there is any difference. Checking the brakes with the wheels off of the ground does not give a realistic test to the brake since you have no load resistance so I will do it on the ground.
I will update after I get my hands back on it.
Thanks
