Breakaway switch

I have a question, the breakaway switch was pull and left out for about five minutes before realizing it while Aiirstream is parked on side of the house, how do I know if brake magnets may have been damaged?

Five minutes isn't any longer than sitting at a long traffic light - I'd be surprised if damage was done.

You can do a brake check by applying the brakes with the manual switch on the brake controller while driving on gravel and watching to see if the wheels lock up. That will show you if all four are working since it's easy to see if they lock on the gravel.
