Helpful Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are missing the fuse in your smaller, secondary under-hood fuse box that powers the brake controller. I checked in a manual for a 2012 Honda Pilot, and it was the number 14 fuse labeled Trailer E-Brake. It should be close if not identical in your 2014 model. There should be a diagram on the underside of the fuse box cover you can use to verify this.
