there is no way to use electric brake's on a trailer with out a brake control .if you have a trailer that is generally 3500 lb or heaver ,buy law it must have brakes.and there buy you have to have some way to apply them .the only way to not have a controller and use the trailer brake's is to have hydraulic surge brake's on the trailer .
