Check your wiring all the way back to the hubs, you could have snagged the wiring with road debris and pulled the wire from the clips (I hate these) used at the hubs.
How many miles on the trailer brakes?
How much wear?
Have you pulled the drum for an inspection (easy to do)?
The magnets wear out before the shoes or the brake hardware does. If worn, it's quick, cheap and easy to replace the assembly, just a bolt-on procedure. |
Alright, I just realized this is more complicated than I thought. Please keep in mind I know nothing about trailer wiring and little if any about electronics, so please forgive my dumb questions.
How do I pull the head of the plug?
Wiring under trailer looked good from a glanceover. Are the wire clips the ones on the backsides of the drums?
Haven't pulled the drums yet for this issue. There's probably 5000 miles on the trailer from new. Trailer has been nothing but trouble from day 1 everything brake related.
Magnets, I didn't know about that and am not familiar with this concept. Replacing the unit? Where do I get one and what am I looking for?
