Brake rewiring

An alternative to crimping multiple wires together or soldering is to run an individual wire pair to each brake location. The four individual pairs are then terminated on the tongue on a terminal strip. The terminal strip is installed in an enclosure and the umbilical from truck is led into that enclosure to connect to the brake wires. Terminating using a terminal strip and using this Star layout gets the most power to each brake and makes diagnosis of brake problems easier. Any electrical issue can be diagnosed at the tongue.

I have all of my trailer wire connections on this strip:
