I have a 36ft Raptor trailer with tripple axles. I am replacing the brake assy on all 3 axles right now and I have ran into a problem.
middle axle isnt engaging.. can I hot wire from say the 1st or 3rd axle if I cant isolate the problem?
I am waiting for my wife to get back here with mt tester light to see if its getting power. If i cant find the problem what is a fix for this.
Brakes ar on all 3 axles and was wondering if they ingage all at the same time or in stages when you push the brakes..
thanks in advance for any help

Full Version: 5'r Brake Question
Is both sides of the middle axle not working? If one side is working you might have a loose wire where the wires are hooked together. If it is the opposite side from where they are hooked together then look at the cross over wire to see if it is loose on the other side or broken.
The brakes all work at the same time. Yes you can jump from the front axle to the middle and see if they work.
