Yes, tested multiple ways, good ground, good Fluke meter.
Will give pictures too. First is no brake applied, second is brake applied. Note now in millivolts

By the way, I have not seen any official documentation that this line is even meant for this. But it does happen to be correctly bundled with line to brake output, constant power, ground, trigger(?)
I am having the same issue with my Redarc. I contracted Redarc and they gave me a few things to test which confirmed to them that the brake controller is installed correctly so it's an issue with the Grenadier not giving a signal to the brake controller when braking. It should be 12v as you mentioned. I can engage the trailer brakes manually by pushing the Redarc control knob. I've contacted Elliott Bay but they are not aware of the issue and are following up with Ineos.
Thanks for update. I sent a question to Elliot Bay service through their form a few days ago but haven't had a response.I am having the same issue with my Redarc.

Below is the email I received from Mark at Redarc

The continuous green/blue flashing would suggest the system isn’t receiving a brake light signal.
I made a video on how to best test the brake controller without a trailer being present, I’m hoping this might help confirm things are functioning as it should…
If further action is needed, there’s a couple of things we can check for further testing, could I please ask you use a multimeter (volt meter) and report back the following test results…
These particular tests will help confirm the TowPro is receiving all the inputs required, with the trailer not attached should be okay…
Verifying what you can will be great…
- With a multimeter set to Voltage DC, press the Black negative lead of the multimeter into the white cable coming from the TowPro and leave it there as this will be the reference point for all our measurements.
- Press the Red positive lead of the multimeter into the black cable coming from the TowPro, what voltage do you get?
- Then try pressing the Red positive lead of the multimeter into the red cable coming from the TowPro, what voltage do you get?
- Then try the same test again by pressing the Red positive lead of the multimeter into the red cable coming from the TowPro, but this time place your foot on the brake pedal, what voltage do you get?

Here's a hint... Maybe it isn't working for anyone
That's my suspicion and the reason for my post. Six pages in, it's unclear if this method is working or not. Meantime owners continue to wire their Redarc to those same 4 wires following the information in this thread. Time to pause and get a definitive answer from IA, supported by some simple testing if that trigger wire is actually doing anything.Here's a hint... Maybe it isn't working for anyone
That is frustrating.

You can't use pin6 because that is also right turn signal. There technically is no dedicated brake light on the NA 7pin connector. Would have to be an AND with pin1
There is however, dedicated brake light input into the TRM in the passenger rear of the vehicle
Well, using the center brake light was my next best option, but, was waiting on a better solution - brake light it is. The problem though is that RedArc wanted to also use this signal to trigger brake lights if you manually engage trailer brake .
I meant to ask TRM but forgot , you have details on where and which wire?
I don't, but it is fairly easy to trace the "input" side and "output" sides of the harness, and a couple minutes with a test light will get you your answer
That blink pattern is the hint that it hasn't been able to learn detection of brake signal.
I ran into same thing which is why started digging in to the technical details. Hate to say it but it likely is not actually doing anything.
Btw, if you did full gain and had RedArc to only use gain setting, I would expect you to be dragging a wheel when brake applied - another confirmation. Just like if you manually press the brake controller should lock up wheel on full gain. Of course depends on brake power on trailer.
