I tested the wires at the back of each wheel and have juice going to all wheels.
I removed all 4 tires and hubs a cleaned the magnet arms and magnets so I should have good ground for magnets. I spun each wheel and had someone push truck brake and the brakes worked at each wheel, plus I can hear the magnet being activated by humming.
Test drove and prodigy p2 still cuts out intermittently and reads O. L. I've traced electric current from TV through 7 way and back to brakes, none of the magnets seemed to have excessive wear, well maybe one but did not see magnet coil showing through.
I'm suspecting the controller now.
