Brake Controller - Short
Hello, The other day I had some truck problems so a friend had to tow my trailer while my truck was being towed. He has a prodigy brake controller that would show a short and then it would go out....

consider giving it a tug from one end and then the other. On my flat bed trailer, that must have moved the chafed wire off the axle and it has been happy for a few years now.
While that might work for a short time it isn't a permanent "fix" and eventually after you put enough tension on the wire inside the tube it will break at the point of entry into the tube.. Most likely will do that at the most inopportune time (like going down a 8% grade hill)..
It is much wiser to fix it right the first time and know it isn't going to give anymore trouble down the road.
