When 'pin' is pulled full battery voltage goes to trailer brake magnets energizing them. Brake shoes will not engage until trailer rolls.
Putting 'pin' back in the switch holds the contacts open. (Turns it off)
No real harm done. Magnets can be damaged if energized with full battery voltage for extended periods........many,many hours.
