Breakaway Switch
Purchased trailer 1989 and has breakaway switch mounted. No pin....which is odd...because the brakes should be locked? Maybe it's rigged not to? It is wired to my 12 volt battery. When to Napa and guy...

@mkirsch: I am assuming the switch itself is bad. I drove the trailer from NJ to Indiana and it pulled/braked fine. Being new to all this, I did not realize I needed a break-away. So I looked and saw I had one and it is connected to the battery (which is new and charged). But - no pin. This trailer was used by my local fire company as a fire prevention demo space. They may have tinkered with the switch. No way of knowing - they did not know much about it. Was used by several people over the years at the fire company. So I mounted the new switch. It has a blue/black/white wire. On the original it has 2 black wires. I have not wired yet. I assume white goes to frame ground and blue/black are wired to wiring tht was in original switch? I have to play around with it some more.
But great advice as usual by all!!!
I will follow up again soon.
