Long story short, I have a break wire in one of the hubs shorting the trailer brakes. I am getting the same error codes and having trailer breaks go in and out. Now, I know how to pull the tires road side attached to the truck, but haven't seen a post about doing it while on level. It is currently in my yard, on a concrete pad and leveled with the six point system. So my question is, should I:
A. keep it on the six point leveling jacks and do the hub pulls
B. Take it out of level and go front jacks only and do the work
C. Hook it up to the TV, completely off jacks, and do the work
My TH is huge, 43' 9" and about 17,000lbs empty. It is a triple axle rig. I will probably have to pull each wheel until I locate the grounded wire. This happened previously, but the dealer fixed it last time. The problem is, the dealer is 3.5 hours away and I will not tow it with faulty brakes. I don't mind doing the work, I just want to ensure I don't damage the leveling gear. Standing by for some guidance. Thanks in advance.
Try this. My car trailer is 48' and is 21K.
