DodgeGuy - makes sense about the magnets! I didn't even think about that. Thanks for that thought. Is there any way to test for those?
Disconnect your brakes from the wiring harness. Using an ohmmeter check the resistance between the brake magnet wires. 7 inch brake magnet resistance should be 3.8-4.0 Ohms and
10 and 12 inch brake magnets resistance should be 3.2-3.5 Ohms. If the resistance is not within the specified range, then the magnet will need to be replaced.
I did the same with mine and they tested OK. I went ahead and replaced them anyway and am glad I did.
