Electric brakes

I have a mystery here I hope ?? someone can help me with. I replaced two of four brakes on my trailer.. Everything worked fine when I started. Now I have a brake disconnected error code from my controller.
I connected the new brakes to the line using butt connectors and shrink wrap. I checked the pig tail, the wire from the bus bar to the magnet and ground. I have continuity to all of them. I ran a new line separate from the original and had brakes for about five seconds and got the error code again.
I’m at a total loss here. Any ideas? Anything would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks!
  • Raise one side off the ground and spin a wheel. Have somebody pull the breakaway cable. Repeat with the other axle and other side. If the brakes work that way, you’ve eliminated a good chunk of wiring as the problem. If they don’t, you can be pretty sure the problem is between the junction box and axles.
  • I would suggest you go back and solder those wires and shrink wrap.
