You most likely have a break in the brake wiring circuit. If the brake wiring is in series configuration, interrupting just one wire will eliminate any braking. You'll need a multimeter or test light to test the wiring and see where the break in the wires exists.
Heres what I'd do: Make sure 12V is present at truck socket on brake pin of connector when brakes are applied Pinout of RV connections. Power brake circuit with 12V to trailer umbilical. Use test light to follow power back to the first brake magnet. Check entire brake circuit for power. If power is available in complete circuit, begin testing ground wire for continuity. Given the history related to the tire failure, I'd expect to find a broken or parted wire somewhere close to that axle end.
