FYI: Brake Problem Solved
This is a heads up for anyone having electrical problems with their brakes. My brake controller was giving me a warning "overload no brakes". Called brake controller help line and was told bad electro-magnet or short in wiring. I did a thorough inspection of the visible brake wiring which did not show anything unusual. So I ordered a compete set of new brakes and took them to my son-in-law's shop for installation. He installed the brake kits and double checked the wiring including inside the axles. And low and behold there was the short in the wire in the rear axle. (The brakes needed replacing anyway, they were half gone.)
If any of you get an overload warning be sure to check the wires inside the axles. By the way, I got all four 12-2, 4400# AL-KO axle brake kits from Amazon for $133.00. Trailer Parts Superstore quoted me $130 for each wheel.
