What happens here

The video starts with a white Ford F-250 truck towing an orange Diamond C LPX trailer. The driver attempts to apply the trailer's hydraulic brakes using both the truck's foot pedal and the manual brake controller. He observes a significant 7-second delay before the trailer brakes engage, which is an unsafe and abnormal operation. The driver expresses frustration, noting he has already had the truck's wiring checked and replaced parts previously, with the Ford dealership assuring him the truck was not the issue. This suggests the problem lies elsewhere.

Goal: Identify and quantify the trailer brake delay with the initial tow vehicle.
