Tekonsha Primus no signal...

I have the Primus and it has been working flawlessly for the past 3 race/camping seasons. Went to get the trailer home to prep for winter storage and my last step before pulling away is to confirm I have brakes for the trailer. I squeezed the manual slide and nothing.. Anybody have one of these baby's fail? I may be putting the cart before the horse because I have yet to do any real diagnostics. I have all lights to the trailer and hazard/turn signals but was unable to check for brake lights although I presume I do as when the brake controller is manually activated the brakes function but the brake lights do not activate. So no brakes is the real problem I believe.

Any thoughts before I go home tonight to try and clear this up?

Do the brakes have a separate circuit I should test?
