I got 'em working correctly! Thanks. You win the prize for "most specific correct answer". As I look back at the other responses, they were all correct, but yours gave me the specific help that turned the trick.

I don't know what NAT stands for, but I checked it with the test light, it lit up when I pressed the brake pedal. So I found a terminal connector that slid right on that stud and put that on the end of the red wire. Bingo! Everything works as advertised now. All my other wires were already connected where they should be. Whoever first installed the other controller had the red wire spliced into some yellow wire coming out of a harness of wires that was at least 2" in diameter. The two previous owners of this truck both pulled 5th wheel travel trailers. I wonder if they've been fighting brake function the whole time?

I had the problem fixed in about 30 minutes, but then I spent another hour tidying up, putting all wires into some black plastic loom. Even though it can't be seen, I just feel better when I know all the wires look like they're going where they should, instead of running every which direction. I'm kind of anal that way.
