Prodigy P3 Overload Warning
I am getting an intermittent overload warning on my P3 controller that just started about 500 miles ago during our last trip. I would like to get it resolved to get us back and then R&R the whole sys...

Looking good!
On our fiver, I struggled with uneven braking. With decent trailer brake sensitivity set, the left front tire would consistently lock up followed by the left rear. I don't thing the right ones ever locked up.
I pulled all the factory wiring (connected with scotchlocks, if I recall) out & replaced it with highly flexible rubber sheathed extension cord cable. I ran 10 gauge to a point near the axles, 2 EQUAL lengths of 12 gauge to the center of the axles. At that point, I ran EQUAL lengths of 14 gauge to each brake.
All connections were soldered & weather shielded; the cord was attached to the tops of the axles with a spot of adhesive and electrical tape. No connectors were used except the crappy 7 pin on the pin box.
It worked very well. I never had lockup issues; all 4 wheels braked at the same rate. It became a pleasure to tow ... then I traded it in on our first Class C. I hope the future owners enjoyed it as well as we did!
Bruce, very glad to hear that your rewiring job was so successful. If I should have any corrosion problems then I will go the solder route that you did. I think the only thing that will cause my intermittent overload will have to do with the magnets because everything else is clear.
