trailer connection issues

Hello Folks!
On my 2015 F350 there is an on screen display that shows me when the 5'er is connected, or disconnected.

For some reason, the connection recently became intermittent. I have checked the in-bed connector, and wiring harness from the 5'er, etc but haven't found anything frayed or wrong that might be causing the system to read "connected" then "disconnected" (it swaps every couple of minutes). It doesn't seem to be associated with braking cycles, etc.

Additionally, the brakes when applied from the truck appear to not be doing the same job they used to when stopping. As a test, I pulled the emergency pin which locked up the brakes just fine on the rig, so I don't think it is the trailer.

I made a cursory check of the fuses on the truck and will go back to check them again, but any other ideas out there?

Thanks
