    Haqi, Am glad you got it figured out. While I have extremely limited knowledge on the subject, I believe your the first to experience a double relay failure. I had emailed an friend earlier asking if he would chime in on the subject, he had an excellent write-up on removing the relays and...

    Haqi, Now you are getting somewhere. Ensure that the terminal block with all 4 wires are connected and that you can read 12vdc there. pull the relays out of the connectors. measure the red (or yellow green tracer) pin of the relay connectors. If 12vdc on the pins, good. If no voltage, push the...

    Haqi, So, if I understand correctly, the 7GA wire that is part of the 4 wire connection on the terminal block that is on the input side of of the relays doesn't have voltage. If so, I do not know the path of that wire back to the battery or if there are splices in the middle. I didn't bother...

    Haqi, I stand corrected. Drove out to where my trailer is stored after reading about your water pumps still working with the Control Panel Switch off, and learned that they still work, so, that means that they are getting 12vdc from before the Control Panel relays (in my mind anyway). So this...

    Am not a expert on this, but here's my take: Re your "staircase" is still working, am I correct in assuming that you mean your steps still extend and retract? If so, the only time they will not work is when you shut off the main 12vdc battery disconnect switch in the battery box (in my...

    HQJoe, It looks like I was wrong on the inductive coupling issue. Thank you. I'd have never thought that the break-away system was tied to the brake light/turn signal circuits. Haven't gone back to look at it in more detail, as I put it on the back burner. I still have unanswered questions to...

    To continue re the periodic blinking light issue: Had received the standard advice on how to fix the issue here's the link: https://www.etrailer.com/question-151015.html So I ordered a set of resistors, and was going to install them in a water tight box next to the tongue J-box. But before...

    To Rob Brown and others with the periodic blinking light problem: By the way, I'm the Paul that Raspy mentioned in his post about the issue. Here’s the test that needs to be done: Truck off, I left the 7-way connected just for my convenience. Disconnect the affected circuit wires at the...

    Hi Raspy, Paul here. I have also installed the McHitch per Raspy's description, and like it much better than the polyblock. Paul
