Any way to test the brake magnet circuits?
While replacing the bearings on my Pop-up, I discovered that one of the brake magnets was an open circuit and I only had one brake. The controller sensed the good circuit so it was happy. Since th...

I use a Clamp-on Ammeter to check the brake current after pulling the emergency break-away plug. I think this would have detected your problem. The current should have been less than normal (by 1/2 if you only have two brakes).
Activating the brakes in the truck can be dicey. My built-in controller compensates for vehicle speed, so you will only get a very low current when at rest.
