Ok long story short and 4 weeks later, I tested the 7 Way connector for the trailer tow and discovered that it was not getting 12 Volts to the lead that is supposed to give 12 Volts when the brake is pressed. This lead is the Electric brake lead. All the other leads, the left stop signal, right stop signal gets 12v when the brake is pressed and the constant lead gets 12 volts without the brake pressed. The electric brake lead is not getting 12 volts when the brake is pressed. Ive checked the two fuses under the hood, Ive pulled the connector off thats connected to the back of the 7 way plug and tested each lead and they do the same thing as if it was plugged in.
Is there a disconnect somewhere that im missing? Somewhere in the brake controller lever thats not connected and making that circuit not work thats to the electric brake? Ive been messing with this thing for 4 weeks and finally figured out that the actuator pump is not gettting the 12 volts it needs to activate the brakes on my trailer. Im at a loss here and I know its probably something simple but Ive changed the brake controller module as a last resort thinking that it may have been the problem but its not. Can someone please help!!
