Wanted to update you all incase someone finds this post in need of help.
I went through the system with a fine tooth comb and the culprit was inside two tubes. It seems that WW used really nice 10AWG shielded wire up until it splits into the tubes.
From there it seems like they used cheap speaker wire and of course two sections had rubbed through.
The crappy part was I also replaced my brake controller with a smart updated Tekonsha controller, well long story short the brake controller sensed the short and completely disconnected the brakes all together for the ride home. This made my 25 mile trek in stop and go freeway traffic a little sketchy.
I rewired all three axles, wrapped and secured everything including all wiring on the frame rails and it did the trick.
Thanks for all the advice
