We also have a 69. We had a forum friend work on her and checked the brakes they had lots of power and the wire was good from the brakes to the insided connector - but as soon as we plugged in the umbilical cord the brakes would not work. The problem was either at the trailer end connection or actually inside where the harness plugs in (To be determined).
We still have a temp solution and hard wired from the inside and ran the wire through the window and into the harness at the vehicle end - by-passing the outside trailer wall connection and trailer end harness.
We hope to fix that problem on our holiday - but for now we know the brakes work and have a great connection so we are not going to mess with it until some wiring guru's at the FSR can lend a helping hand.
Good luck - we have some printed info on this and that if you need anything - but our model is a Globetrotter a little smaller than yours.
