The brakes are powered by a brake controller like part # C74VV which draws power from the tow vehicle's battery, not the trailer's battery. You will however need a battery on the trailer to activate the breakaway which is required by law in most states however, this battery is very small and is included with most kits like the Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit part # C52044.

• Troubleshooting 2002 F-250 Towing Horse Trailer with Working Exterior Lights but No Interior Lights
  It sounds like the interior lights on your trailer are powered through the 12 volt circuit on your Ford's 7-way. So, start by testing to make sure that pin is active.

You could also simply have a case of corrosion on/in the connectors that is preventing the +12V auxiliary power from reaching the trailer. If this is the...

• Recommended Charger for Breakaway Kit Battery When Storing for Long Periods of Time
  If your trailer won't be getting used very often, it is wise to use a maintainer charger on your trailer battery and breakaway battery to keep them in good working order. I recommend using a battery charger like the NOCO Genius # 329-GENIUS5 so it will maintain your battery. This will make it so you can simply plug it in when storing it and you can be sure it will work well when you are ready to tow.
