Are the brakes not working at all, or just not as good as should be when connected to your truck?
Maybe your truck wiring is suppling the backup solenoid with 12V in error?

Back up solenoids are a Pain. If the trailer moves just a little once the truck is stopped, (before you put it in reverse) the brakes apply. My solution is a C clamp put on the surge brake housing to stop the hitch side of the assembly from compressing when I back up. I do this at the ramp when I am loading and removing the straps.

been there done that. But you are correct on the plain version can be a pain. You should look into the deluxe model well worth the time to nstall
