I was unable to find a reference to part 4814400 so I assume you were referring to the Titan BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator # T4813102 .

I contacted Titan who told me it was possible it burned the pump if it ran for a time and you should look for metal shavings in the reservoir; if you see them it is not repairable and you would need a new unit.

The other possibility is that air may have gotten into the unit and would need to be purged which would be done by placing the unit on it’s back and running it until it comes to pressure, which may take up to one minute.

This is exact same adapter as the Dexter part number you mentioned with the part #DX35FR. Now with that said your 2022 Ford F-250 shouldn't need this adapter so that makes me think you just need to put your brake controller into hydraulic mode.
