This is exactly as pictured above. I have no trailer brakes still. What else could it be? Maybe a wire detached.. from the back though this looks ok.

I think I found the issue
Where marked. The wire pull apart somehow. Idk. Gonna strip it. Put them back together. I’ll update. -

Since you have no brakes, the presumption is that you don't get anything.
If this is a newer truck with an integrated brake controller, you need to check the fuse. The owners manual should tell you which fuse it is.
Edit: Likely irrelevant due to later post identifying issue. -
Looks like you're finding more issues. I never liked the way most goosenecks have their brake wiring configured, cheesy at best, crappy non-weatherproof connectors, too small a gauge wiring, always prone to failure....

Well this morning I fixed the wire in the back. No brakes... hmmm. Check the fuse. Damaged. Ok. Excellent this was the problem WRONG!!!
I put the new one in, when to put in drive felt the trailer brake engaged. Hmmm but no brake function on the integrated brake either. Maybe I go the black wires wrong!? Idk. I’ll update when I change them. -
Nothing. But brake is definitely engaged when I put the truck in drive. Checked the breakaway to see maybe if it became loose. Nope. At this point I’m not sure.

If your brakes are locked on now you've got a wire in the wrong spot on the plug. I've had that happen with a different pickup that must have been wired different.

You need to zip tie all the brake wires up or you will have broken wires every time you ck. to see why brakes are not working?
