Be sure that wire is about ten-gauge, and fine-stranded.

Ok still no power to brakes at the plug. I did some more testing. When I manually activate brakes I get about 12 volts to blue wire at back of controller but when I use the brake pedal I only get about 3volts and I still get trailer disconnected display even with trailer hooked up. Any ideas?

Yes, your controller is working. Leave that part alone. I am betting you have a connection issue. Since you know you have power from your controller, if you truly have nothing at the seven pin on your truck, you have a broken connection between the controller and the seven pin (but that is almost never the case.) Using only the manual slide to do testing, verify that you have nothing to feeding the brake pin at the back of your truck.

Thanks for every ones help. I ended up running a new wire from controller to lug and it works great.
