Terrible factory splices in brake wiring
OMG, I never would have thought splices in the brake wiring could be this bad. Am just replacing the backing plate assemblies on one axle. The first couple of splices I looked at were pretty bad...

If you are the first owner of the trailer you're right this is poor workmanship. However, if this was a used trailer when you bought it, looking at the photos, my first reaction is these were done by a previous owner or shade tree mechanic.
Due to liability issues it's hard for me to believe a trailer or axle manufacturer would allow such shoddy work.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time I've found bad crimps and connections in this TT on 12 volts (and 120 volts too). They need to start by stopping hiring one-eyed monkeys and start doing some quality control inspections as well. I have to wonder what the NHTSA would say about something like this. Perhaps some of the photos & stories of FWs & TTs in road accidents you see posted from time to time may have been a result of bad wiring like this.
