Trailer Brake issues.....

I followed my plan and cut away the rear axle feed line. As soon as it was cut, the "SH" went away, and the rest of our trip out and back was perfect.

Good brakes the whole time. So now I know it's on the rear axle, and since I have replaced all that wiring, it must be inside one of the hubs. Time to take them off and do some inspection I guess.

You cut a wire and then had good brakes?

If the problem was in a "hub", how did you have good brakes?

My guess is that you have a short inside an axle.

I have a dual axle trailer.

I have had an intermittent short "somewhere" in the system. I replaced all the wiring in the axles and it did not stop.

The wiring from the tongue to the axles is in great shape. So it has to be in one or more of the hubs.

The only way to narrow it down was process of elimination. I started
by trying to figure which axle, and hoped it was only in one axle.

As I stated, I cut away the rear axle, which left the front axle working properly.

So I have one or more shorts in the hub(s) on my rear axle.
