Helpful Expert Reply:
To test the brake magnets on your trailer you'll need a multimeter like # PT89ZR, and I have linked a help article below titled "Testing Trailer Brake Magnets For Proper Function" which details exactly what you need to do.
If you find the magnets are bad you can replace them, depending on the size of your brakes; for example if you had 3,500 lb brakes you could use the Replacement Magnet Kit for 10" Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKBRKR-M10.
I have added a link below to our entire selection of brake magnets for you to check out as well.
