intermittent brakes
I am having the intermittent brake problem. I have done some diagnostics as recommended in other posts. I pulled the emergency connection and all four wheel rolled, I checked for power at wires coming...

Hey Barney, thanks for sharing that, I'm sure it will be helpful.
This is where I am currently. After the smoldering wires which thankfully occured right at the breakway I have found that the breakaway is not fused, understandably! The brake ground is on the frame near the real drivers side axel. The power wire and breakaway are fastened together at front and rear axle drivers side. In Order for there to have been a dead short of this magnatude, it has to be one of the blue power wires, correct? I would think so. So, I am going to just run two new power wires and hopefully that should be good.
All my tools are of the best nature, crimp style connectors, connectors for the appropriate size wire with factory shrink, the appropriate stripping tool and the appropriate crimping tool with slots for 3 different size crimps that are color coded to the crimps, red, blue and yellow. If there is an error it shouldn't be in my tools or application.
I'm thinking the wire has to be the problem and it is in a spot I can see. I may cut it and pull it out when I do the new wire...tomorrow, I'm done for today :(
