I couldn't lock up the brakes on my 2005 Cougar 304BHS from day one! I was using a Prodigy P2 in my 2004 Ram 2500. Was told by the RV dealer, Keystone and Tekonsha that the simple fact the brakes are not locking up does not mean there is a problem. The question is will the trailer brakes pull down against the truck firmly.
I replaced the brakes with new self adjusting brakes soldiered all of the connections and used heat shrink tubes and even put silicon caulk inside the tubes before heating them. All the bearings were changed out also and still I could not lock up the brakes. The trailer and truck stopped very well even though they wouldn't lock up.
Here are some links on how to test the voltage output of a controller.
