If you have a Hydrastar brand actuator on your trailer you could use the part # HBA-CAM and this would take care of your problem. But this only fits the Hydrastar actuators. If it's a Dexter BrakeRite you could use the part # T4845900.

If you have a different brand of actuator then you could technically use the part # DX35FR as this (and the others) basically are designed to simulate the draw of electric brake magnets to allow the brake controller to sense that a trailer is connected.
