Brake controllers draw a considerable amount of amperage. What I can almost guarantee happened is when you hit the override lever of the controller you overdrew the running light/head light circuit you used to power the brake controller. Once you determine what has shorted out on the truck I would strongly recommend you change the wiring of the brake controller so that it is powered straight off of the positive terminal of the battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9506P.
