I'm no electrical mechanic, but I do have brakes on my trailer...

You probably hooked up a wire or two wrong when you installed your new plug. Also, check your wiring from under dash to controller. It could also be a wire is grounding either on your truck or on the trailer. I would trace them all.

More unlikely...but possible....Check your trailer brakes. Leave wheel mounted, jack up trailer one side at a time and see if your wheels spin freely ( a slight drag is ok). You're checking to see if your brake pads are stuck to the drums.
My first inclination would be grounding somewhere. I'm wondering why your plug corroded so badly... not enough use? Double check your new plug's wiring.
Hope this helps.
