The trailer brakes work on a separate circuit than the lights. You have a couple of options to control the electric brakes on the trailer. One option is to use an air over electric brake control, #HA100400C. This unit connects to the air brakes on…

I don't believe a 2016 Volvo VNL780 has electric brake wiring since they are setup for the air brakes of a semi truck trailer but the Tuson DirecLink Base Model Trailer Brake Controller #335DL-100 can still be used as long as it has a 12 volt…
