Does the Voyager Trailer Brake Controller Light Up when No Trailer is Connected

Question:
Will any lights come on the voyager if my trailer and plug is not hooked up? will pushing on the brake make it light up?

I bench tested a Voyager brake controller, # 39510, and determined that with 12 volt power connected and the controller grounded and connected to the brake switch but NOT connected to a trailer, it will not light up even when you apply the brakes or use the manual override.
If it is lighting up with no trailer connected that indicates a short to the brake output wire, most likely a dirty trailer connector.
