Please Help trailer brake problems

I am having problems with my trailers electric brakes. My prodigy is saying there is an overload/short circuit. I confirmed it is the trailer by towing a buddies trailer and the prodigy had no issues with that. So I have looked in the connector box by the king pin nothing noted. I need help where to look what am I looking for? Do I need to take the wheels off? What should I look for there. Please help I am supposed to leave in a day on trip that is already paid for.
