Default F-450 Braking issues
I have an '08 F-450 King Ranch. I pull a 36ft 5th wheel camper. I am having issues with braking as my truck is not activating the trailer brakes. But I can manually override with the unit inside. So my question is...why can I manually override the trailer brakes, but truck can't activate them?

What is OE controller? Does it work with main truck brakes or trailer brake controller?

OE, meaning ‘original equipment’ Ford brake controller.
Not an aftermarket (?)

its OE. And it works when I manually squeeze it to stop. Seems truck isn't getting message to controller anymore when applying brakes.
