Trailer Brake issues??
So i went to test out my new gooseneck connections in my bed and the trailer brakes will lock up about 6 inches after i move the trailer. Im not getting it. It did it on two trailers that i know work fine. The first trailer my truck was displaying a message saying check trailer wiring. After a couple minutes trying to figure it out my truck finally stopped recognizing the trailer and cut power to it. Is that a safety feature? Then the second trailer same thing move forward 6 inches and trailer brakes were applied for some reason. Why is my truck telling it to put on the trailer brakes. I took a test light to my 7 way and it appears to be good. When testing the 7 way is the 12V battery prong supposed to be hot at all times. Mine is but two trucks at work are not? This is on my 2015

Just a plain ole guy
DO the trailers work fine on other trucks?
Who did the new connection to the bed? Was it a premade harness? If so, it may not be the right one for your truck. Will the pigtail reach the normal connector? Thats where I use mine at for my 5'er

Yeah the two trailers work on the F550 we have at work. I had my truck tested at a local trailers sales dealership and everything tested fine. So Im really at a loss, but atleast its not in my truck.
