The plot thickens........Last night drove about 9 miles to a local restaurant in a thunderstorm (not especially heavy rainfall by Florida standards) and I suddenly notice the display on the P3 controller flashing a message stating 'Warning' Short to Battery No Brakes! In 8 years I have NEVER seen that message, with or without the trailer connected. All good info. but the trailer wasn't within 15 miles of the truck, let alone connected to the truck. Checked the electric trailer brake circuit in the truck fuse panel (the previously blown 30 amp)and it was fine. Matter of fact, when I reinserted the fuse then checked the brake controller, it had reset itself from the warning message and was displaying the normal home screen shown when the truck's ignition is on.
What in Gawd's name is going on? Inclined to take the truck to my mechanic, but would really like to have some idea of how to explain this weirdness so they aren't flying completely blind attempting to diagnose what may be happening.
