9V at 7 pin harness

2006 1500HD.  

I rebuilt a trailer, first time towing it was with an 02 Ram and the brakes did not work (even with the override)

When I got my truck back, hooked it up and same thing.  

I adjusted the brakes (brand new) until the wheel was tight and backed off one notch.  Still no brakes even with override.

I checked voltage at the truck without the trailer plugged in and getting 9V once controller override is pressed, then the voltage drops to about 3v.

I have read that the voltage drops from the speed senors in the wheel not seeing the truck rolling, the brake controller works on a friend's trailer.

Any ideas?  Only thing I can think is the truck has a bad ground to the harness.

Factory trailer plug?

Carefully check that each wire function to the plug is correct, clean and secure.

 

Tekonsha controllers are very sensitive to good grounding, so check those well.

Yes, the trailer plug is factory.  The wires are all correct, I did continuity check from brakes to the plug term box and to the plug.
