Trailer hitch reverse (5th wire) wiring question.

My trailer has a 5 wire setup and the 5th wire is for reverse. This allows the trailer to disengage the brakes. I was testing the wiring and I see that the 5th wire only flashes on for a second and then goes off (with a tester). Does anyone have this type of setup with trailer? If so, Shouldn't the power stay on so the brakes stay disengaged? Before I bring it it I need to find out for some of the other people with Trailer option as my dealer is not very up on trailer and the hitch option.

Thanks

Rich
