You have to remember, You have a enertia activated brake controller. It will not apply hardly any power to the TT brakes unless the TV, and TT are MOVING. To test the controller, and your brakes. Hookup, and drive up to 25, or 30 MPH. Push the manual arm on the controller all the way to the stop, With out pressing the TV brake pedal. If it, and the brakes are working. You will feel the brakes on the trailer come on. How hard the come on will depend on how you have adjusted the controller.
The Voyager has an actual Pendulum inside the controller that swings forward during braking. The harder you stop the farther / faster the pendulum swings, and the more power is sent to the trailer brakes. No swing, no power sent.
The Prodigy on the other hand has a accelerometer / (sort of electric pendulum) that activates the trailer brakes
