There are 4 potential problems that are stated in the instructions that could cause the n.c. (no connection) reading on your Prodigy P2, part # 90885. I am including a link to the instructions for the Prodigy P2 brake controller.
The 4 possible causes for n.c. are as follows.
1. Trailer not connected to tow vehicle.
2. Trailer connected with open circuit on brake line.
3. Trailer connector disconnected or corroded.
4. Loss of trailer brake magnet ground.
Testing the Prodigy P2 brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, part # 3808, you should get output to the trailer brakes. If the manual slide activates the trailer brake output wire properly, try the brake pedal. If the brake pedal activates the brake output properly also then the problem is farther back either in the vehicle wiring or on the trailer.
If either the brake pedal or the manual slide are not functioning properly you will need to test the wires going into the brake controller. Make sure you have power entering the brake controller on the black wire. On the red wire you will only want power when the brake pedal is pressed.
If there is power on the red wire before the brake pedal is pressed you have connected the red wire from the brake controller to the wrong circuit. You would then need to find the brake switch wire that has power ONLY when the brake pedal is activated.
If these connections check out and the brake controller is properly grounded then there is possibly a problem inside the brake controller.
I am including a link to a video that will show you how to test the wiring on a brake controller.
