HELP! Electric Trailer Brake Issue
I just purchased a 1993 Featherlite 30' Car Trailer with two 7k axles and I have no brakes and my Prodigy Controller shows no connection (n.c.). So far, I have used a test light and found power when manually engaging the controller at the tongue and at each axle of the trailer. I even went a little bit further and hooked up a marine battery directly to the trailer brake wire and ground at the tongue, checked for power at axles, and no stopping power at all. Is it possible that all (4) brakes are fried at the same time or is there a common thing I am missing?
Of course the previous owner claims the brakes worked fine. |

I am not sure if it is as simple as a messed up wire, I really, really wish it could be. What makes me think it is in the hubs is that there is power to each hub with a direct battery hook up and the tester connected directly to hot and ground each time. The only thing I think I can do short of pulling hubs is to check for resistance at each brake wire. I am just flat out of ideas on this one, reason why I came here for help. I really appreciate the responses. Hopefully some one out there has gone through what I am now. |

I dont think that you have a problem behind the hub do to the fact that the brake controler dont pick it up. if it were me i would follow the brake wire you plug into the truck and find the box then look for problems. if nothing wrong then i would pull the plug apart the make sure the wire did not get cut.
