1) The manual lever on the Prodigy won't turn on the brake lights. (I had to get used to that too.)

2) It sounds like all the connections are ok, and you just need to set the gain and boost on the Prodigy to get the right amount of trailer braking. Crank it up a little higher until you can feel the trailer brakes doing their share.

so are you just slamming the brakes on to see if the trailer brakes are not working?

how are you checking to see if the brakes apply when you step on the brake pedal???
