Even WITH a brake controller...as when I was towing a travel trailer...the electric brakes on the trailer are tied into the brake lights. Every time I hit the brakes, the brake lights would go on....as would the trailer brakes.

All you can do with a brake controller is CONTROL the amount of braking the trailer does.
This is what is causing your problem...I think the brake light/trailer brake combo is the standard wiring for all/any brand.
