Trailer brake help

[stroked out]

Im having issues with my trailer brakes, The brakes dont work my controler pulls up a error im using a draw tite activator 2 controller. Could this be a wiring issue or something with the controller itself. It will not let me set the brake strength either. Lights on the trailer work properly

I installed l.e.d tail lights with the resistors but i did not install one on the led third brake light i also have l.e.d lights under my tail gate, for those i tapped into the running light wire in the harness could this be part of the issue with the brakes and my tc unlocking with my hazards or blinker on.
I already checked all the bulbs they are good besides one in my gauge cluster and i replaced the blinker switch as well. Not sure how to replace the cluster light so i have not tried to change it yet.

Any help would be awesome, thanks

I would be looking that the wiring going from the truck to the controller.

You need

12+
Ground
Brake signal(input from brake pedal)
brake output(going back to trailer)

I had just replaced my controller due to it being not adjustable. But all of my wiring harness was under the dash using a factory plug in.

STILL, check it

you should have a 12v constant on the black lead and 12v with the brake depressed on red. White is ground. You should have a 30amp fuse that is for the 12v constant.

When you connected the wires up did you go color to color, or did you make sure to connect according to their function. I don't think they are the same. It's been a while, but I would start by testing the factory wires first.
