Are you sure the brakes don't work? Since they're electric it could be as simple as a skim coat of rust on the magnets or the drum. Electric brakes work by a magnet pulling to the drum and then the drum rotating a lever the end of which resides between the shoes and is square. As the square end of the lever is rotated the shoes are pushed out to contact the drum thus applying the brakes. Setting out with rain and snow the magnets and the drums will rust a small amount and the shoes will slip until the rubbing of the magnets against the drum and the shoes against the drum rub the rust off. I usually go down the lane with the brakes full on--by the time I get the road the rust is gone and the trailer wants to stop. If not it's time to get out the meter and chase the voltage.
