Thanks for the quick response. I'll answer questions that i've seen:
Westend, I followed the brake wire until I saw a fuse that was in a protective casing. Where before the trailers brakes said they were disconnect, after the fuse change the dodge said everything was fine. When I drove off, it started cycling between connected, not connected.
The brakes are engaging if i apply pressure and the system indicates they are on.
Tom/Barb, how do i reset the emergency brake away switch? i usually don't keep the trailer connected to the battery when i drive, as i usually go straight from our storage lot to camping grounds and hook up to local power. If it's a mistake or it will help, please let me know.
Doug, yes it does have the sway command, but I have a Pro-Pride 3P hitch so i don't use it.
Thanks again everyone

Well, you should have been notified. Jayco has a SAFETY recall on ALL Jayco's with Sway command. The dealer removes the system, because even if NOT used can cause trailer brake problems. So, that is the first thing you need to do. Jayco, stopped installing Sway Command a year ago and expects all out there to be removed. Doug
Jayco is recalling 3,085 model year 2016-2017 Jay Feather, Jay Flight, Jay Flight SLX, Eagle, White Hawk, and Octane travel trailers manufactured January 5, 2016, to July 18, 2016, equipped with a Sway Command anti-sway system.
When connected to certain tow vehicles that have an integrated brake controller, and after the anti-sway system has applied the trailer brakes in response to a sway event, the trailer brakes may no longer function to slow or stop the trailer.
