HELP! Wire Electric Brake Hubs

Camper: 2007 Keystone Outback 210US

Problem: The Curbside drums, both of them, look like this.



One hole has two blue wires. The other hole has two brown wires. Do I hook up the Blue to the Blue? The brown to the Ground?

RIGHT NOW: Street Side: One blue and one brown is hooked to hot, one blue and one brown is hooked up to ground.

WTH???

All the wire diagrams show ONLY two wires, and the same color.

Wondering what she got herself into. ;)
  • You need to explain the wiring better, for example the two holes, I only see one.
  • What you should do is Identify which colored wire is HOT.....the one coming from brake controller.

    IF that one is BLUE....use Blue as hot and Brown as ground wire (for ALL brakes)

    IF that one is BROWN.....use Brown as hot and Blue as ground wire (for ALL brakes)


    Wires coming out of the brake drum backing plates that go to the brake magnets....doesn't matter which is wired to which brake wire. The magnets get energized regardless..no polarity
  • How are the streetside brakes wired? Usually the hot wire to the brakes will be blue. Here's a diagram showing how the brakes should be wired.
