Default HELP!! Trailer brakes

I'm not getting any voltage on the trailer brake pin (pin 2) or 12VDC on pin 4. I'm picking up a trailer in Phx and was hoping to leave tomorrow, but I'm not leaving until the brakes on the trailer work (obviously). I have a Brake Force controller that was installed when I bought the truck so I assuming (yes, I know) it works properly. I'm going to take it to an RV service center tomorrow to see what's going on. I couldn't find the pin-out in the truck manual so I'm looking to you for some help.

Just to make sure, this is what I found the pin-out to be:

pin 1 - Ground
pin 2 - Trailer electric brake
pin 3 - Tail light
pin 4 - 12VDC
pin 5 - Left rear turn signal
pin 6 - Right rear turn signal
pin 7 - Back-up lamp

ANY help you can provide would be extremely helpful

I have a Tekonsha Prodigy that I'm pretty happy with. The times I've used it, I love it and it works well. But, I only use it occasionally when we rent an RV trailer.

I only wish my boat trailer could have electric brakes... The hydrolic brakes suck.
