Can not get an after market brake controller to activate brakes, I’m hooked into the plug and play adapter the manual slide works but the peddle does not. The controller reads its hooked to a trailer but again no trailer brakes. The readout does not change at all it’s a tekonsha prodigy iq, I also tried a curt discovery with same results. The dealer said I need an oem controller with the 2019 I call bs on that any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so the wire harness I purchased off amazon had a bad diode in the center of the red wire that blocked the 12volts to the controller. spliced in a new wire and I have brakes now.. thanks for the reply the dealership figured it out for me and only charged me 43 bucks I’m happy with that.
