Brake Controller Showing Short in the System
On the way home Sunday from our last outing our brake controller reads a short in the system. We made it home safely, but the brakes were in & out the whole way home. I used my test light to check ...

When mine indicated a short I decided to stretch the wire in the axle by pulling on it, this will reposition the wire and the short went away temporally. So a new wire was installed out side the axle housing, no more problems. Also install a resettable breaker, get rid of the FUSE in the brake system and the charge systems.
Yeah, since I never found a "smoking gun"... I am concerned that there might still be a short someplace that I've not found and only moved the bare wire so that it is not shorting right now.
If the short comes back, my next step will be to rewire the brakes from the 7-pin wire harness to each drum.
Installing a fuse in-line is a simple change... I may look into that. If a separate run is installed for each drum, a fuse in each run would indicate where any future short can be found. What amperage rating would you recommend?
Happy Camping!
