Take trailer to a gravel lot.
Have someone walk along back of trailer as you slowly apply trailer brakes with manual over ride until the brakes lock.
See if both sides lock at same time or if one side does not lock.
Then you will know which wheel is having the problem.
I bet you will find grease on at least one brake or a broken brake wire.
If you have a Prodigy P3 you can check current draw. You should get about 1 amp for each volt applied if all 4 brake magnets are working.
