Did the same adjustment to the front axle, does not work using brake pedal. Had wife push bar on controller and all brakes locked up.

With inertial controllers, pushing the brake pedal will have no effect if you are not moving.
Even with my Ford's built-in controller, there will be little voltage applied to the trailer brakes by the pedal when not moving.
The only sure way to activate the trailer brakes when not moving is by pushing the bar on the controller or pulling the plug on the run-away switch.
EDIT: oops, I see RoyKen has already said this.
