The existing "home run" wiring is encased in a wire loom from the trailer tongue to the first axle.
This is then completely covered by the coro-plast material that covers the bottom of my trailer. While not impossible, it would be quite a job to replace unless I can pull it out of the wire loom in one whole section while pulling new wire in.
I bought a 100' roll of 12/2 wire. That is what I used for the new wiring at the axles.
I would rather diagnose the problem and fix it, than just start replacing parts. It may come to that though!!
It does not seem like it would be the wiring under the trailer based on the way it is installed.
I did some OHM test this morning. Reading from the trailer connector, I get 1.4-1.5 ohms.
Is this indicative of anything? From other sources I gather 4 brakes should be around .8 ohms.
Does that sound right? Reading through all the wiring, connectors and splices could amount to 1.4OHMS???
Thanks,
