• How to Wire Trailer Brake Magnets
  
• As long as one of the wires coming from the back of the hub is a ground and the other is a power, it does not matter which wire on the magnet goes to which wire from the back of the hub.

• Electric Trailer Brakes not Releasing
  
• The easiest first step here would be to try the trailer on a different truck, and see if the same problem occurs.
