I have included a link to a help article that explains how you can test trailer brake magnets. Basically you will need a multimeter such as # PT89ZR, a car battery, and the magnets. When testing I recommend testing one magnet at a time. On a 12-1/4 inch brake magnet such as # BP01-301 you should be seeing 3.0 amps at 12-13 volts. And the resistance should be 3.2 Ohms.
