NO! Not with a Powerboost. The auxiliary battery will prevent shutdown and he could damage it If he drains that, too. Better to just let it sit until the halo around the rear seat USB goes dark. Then the relays will have reset. 20-30 mins approximately.
If this is the same old problem recurring, disconnecting and reconnecting the trailer probably won’t make a difference.
I am still on the original version. I was hoping I'd get updated via OTA like others, but don't think that will happen. I also have been hesitant to go to the dealer due to the chaos of this recall. I'm at about 7k miles, so when it's time for an oil change, hopefully the dealers can apply the actual fix.

Hard to say without more Investigation. Going just with what you’ve said so far—same truck, two different trailers—it could be your trailer. To narrow it down, start with the easy stuff. Delete any existing profiles you have for your trailer and start from scratch. Look carefully at the 7-way on your trailer. Any corrosion? Bent blades? Clean it out with a good electronics contact cleaner just to rule it out. If you are using dielectric grease, stop. It’s non-conductive. Use a rubber weather cap to protect the 7-way instead. If the easy stuff doesn’t help, check the wiring all the way back to the electric brakes. Are you getting voltage at the brakes? If you can, have a friend hook his truck up to your trailer. Does his brake controller work?
