Expert Reply:
The auxiliary pin of your 7-way can be used for whatever you need it to be. So if you wanted to use it for a brake controller output circuit you certainly could. It's possible the current circuit you are using has a short on it to other trailer wiring functions which is why yours doesn't like to work with it's current setup. Seeing if you can find a short and fixing as needed might be your better option.
