Need power (12vdc) to reversing lights on the truck/trailer recept. this will energize a solenoid releasing the brakes. Your truck is obviously working check your dad's, check here to see what kind he has, then check the voltage. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx

If it works on your truck but not on his, then there is no power in reverse to the truck plug. Wiredog
