I bench tested a Voyager brake controller, # 39510, and determined that with 12 volt power connected and the controller grounded and connected to the brake switch but NOT connected to a trailer, it will not light up even when you apply the brakes or use the manual override.

If it is lighting up with no trailer connected that indicates a short to the brake output wire, most likely a dirty trailer connector.
