Carolyn, consider yourself lucky. Once upon a time I did the same thing with a brand new trailer. I was on the interstate bringing it home and it frayed the wiring enough to short and lock up the brakes. Oh yea, I was in the left lane passing a slower vehicle when it locked up both axles. I sat on the side of the interstate trying to splice the wires so I could move while the trucks kept flying by shaking the truck, trailer and my nerves. I took it right back to the dealer and they replaced the pigtail free of charge but.... It put flat spots on all 4 tires and they had to be replaced.
