This actuator has a lock-out thing that keeps the breaks OFF /
not applied. Is that what you mean by Open? The lock-out is
so that one can backup the truck without it applying the trailer
brakes.

No electrical to the breaks at all.

Good advice about watching the reservoir - thanks.

Yeah - that's what I meant - open/brakes off - makes sense to me. :)

Your actuator should have a solenoid to release the brakes when you
backup - most of them do. It's wired across the backup light.

No problem.
