Well I did a quick check under the trailer. I started at the box where the 7 pin plug terminates. Everything looked good there. I then went to the axles. Checked the wires where they go through the axles and pulled a few inches out on each side, wires actually looked good. Where the wires go into the hubs all looked good. I checked where they are sliced at each wheel and two of the wires looked like they got pinched. I'm not sure it was bad enough to cause the issue I'm having but I'll probably redo the splice and replace the wire. Thanks

SJ cord is rubberized. It is not thermal plastic. Yes there is some other cables that are thermoplastic like the brake cable.
From your link:
All four types (SJ cable, SJO cable, SJOW cable; and SJOOW cable) are considered heavy duty, due to their thermoset rubber jackets

SJ cord is one of the wire types not too use. It cannot last long with the road salts and chemicals.
This is brake wire.

If you decide to rewire the brake circuit, get proper brake wire. It is two conductor sheathed cable. The sheath protects the conductors from the chaffing.

consider giving it a tug from one end and then the other. On my flat bed trailer, that must have moved the chafed wire off the axle and it has been happy for a few years now.
