Once a Trailer Breakaway Switch Pin has Been Pulled is the System
Expert Reply: Yes. The way that a breakaway switch such as # HM20010 works is that the pin inside holds two pieces of metal apart. Once pulled out it allows the 2 pieces of metal to touch completing the circuit between the breakaway battery and the trailer brakes. All you would have to do to reset the system is put the pin back into the switch.

RV Doctor: Trailer breakaway switch and inverter questions
The breakaway switch on a towable RV is always powered by the battery bank on the trailer. That way, if the tow vehicle and trailer ever part company, the brakes will be activated and remain fully applied. It should not be connected through the converter since the converter is only activated with the application of 120-volt AC power.
Your Trailer Brakes Will Fail In An Emergency If This Is Broken
Hitch up. Disconnect your 7-pin connector. Pull the breakaway pin. Start to drive your tow vehicle forward to activate the braking system. The trailer brakes should activate, disallowing your setup to continue rolling forward. If you can still easily roll forward, something is wrong.

Once a year, jack up one or two tires on each axle, spin the tires and pull the pin to be sure the brakes are fully activated. The tire/wheel assembly should immediately stop with the pin pulled.

ESCO: Break Away Switch
LBS48-16 ESCO Break Away Switch. THIS SWITCH IS FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY. The switch is designed to operate only when the towed trailer separates from the towing vehicle. When this happens the lanyard cable pin is pulled out of the breakaway switch and the switch will close the circuit from the trailer battery to the brakes and put the brakes on.
Breakaway cable snagged on hitch and accidentally pulled out the switch
When the pin is pulled, it applies full voltage to the brakes. It doesn't take very long pulling in that condition before the shoes glaze up and they start overheating and the damage is done. The important thing I learned is to make sure that there is absolutely nothing in the way that the cable can snag on.
