Thanks for both answers. My problem is that I can apply the brakes with the manual handle, but I don't think I'm getting any braking from applying the truck brakes. I suspect one of two things:
- The brake (light) switch voltage is not reaching the brake controller
- The brake controller's pendulum is not indicating that I'm slowing down.
I believe that the connection from the controller to the seven pin connector is good, since I can manually brake, and I think that you've set me on a good troubleshooting path.
Thanks

Hi, quick question. If placing a voltmeter on the output of the seven pin trailer connector, is the brake circuit a steady 12 volts, or is it a variable voltage in proportion to braking desired?

Unfortunately, the end result is that I gave it to a local RV shop that does brake controllers regularly. I was unable to get under the dash to look for the stoplight switch to trace the wires. As I said in an earlier post, I'm pretty sure that it's either a wiring problem to the brake light switch or it needs a brake controller. We'll see what the mechanic finds. Thank you all for your suggestions and information. I understand a lot more now. That still doesn't help me get under the dash :-)
