[QUOTE="Robert Thomas, post: 933712, member: 65566"] First am I right on this. If you have surge brakes on the trailer (force of trailer on hitch causes brakes to activate) you use a 5 pin flat plug or the 7 pin round plug to disengage the brakes when backing up, it has no further function on trailer breaking. If you have electric brakes will they work without a brake controller if hooked up to the 7 or 5 pin connector. In other words do you have to have a brake controller for electric brakes to work? I'm thinking the controller just makes things a lots better and safer. Does the controller have to be matched to the trailer actuator. [/QUOTE]
