The brake controller is working properly. When you put your test light on the blue wire, that is the brake controller output wire and it creates a draw on that wire to power your test light. This will tell the connector that there is a "trailer" connected and that light on the controller for trailer connection will light up on your Tekonsha Voyager # 39510. If you leave this test light connected and hit your brake pedal, then the light will change color to red as long as your brake lights are on. If you hit the manual override slider, you will also get that activated red color. This will not happen without a draw on that brake controller output wire, so you won't get it if there is no "trailer" connected.

I've attached a few videos to further assist as well as the installation details.
