I am having trouble with my trailer brakes. There are 4. I know the controller worked on a friends trailer with 2 brakes when I towed it.
I tested at the hitch plug and get almost 6 volts at full over-ride position. I do not give 12 volts.
In the trailer I get a little less.
There is nothing happening at the brakes, no click, nothing.
I re-did the wiring connections, cutting the old and connecting wires on freshly exposed copper.
I don't think the brakes have ever been used in 20 years, previous owner did not have controller. I took two wheels apart and exercised the brake movement.
Pads look new except for dirt.
I cut trailer cord and wired on a new 7-pin connector.
Wiring goes - blue wire to black wire from brakes. white/ground from vehicle goes to common ground in trailer (including coach battery). White wire from brake goes to this common ground.
I have tested things with coach battery connected and not connected…
At this point I have to start replacing things. What should I look for first?
