  Trailer brakes fixed

  Posted by Andrew on December 18, 2023 at 5:20 pm

  A quick check of my trailer brake lights showed the right turn/brake not working. This is the first time using a trailer, and I was also not sure about the functionality of the brake controller on the bus, so I added a Curt portable controller that is configured via Bluetooth and plugs in the 7-way on the back. Well, I am pretty sure I had no brakes because it requires seeing a signal from both left and right turn/brake in order to generate a brake signal to the electric brakes on the trailer. Also, it certainly seemed like the bus was doing all the braking (and it could, but not sure for how long).

  Anyway, I found a tapped wire loose in a relay/circuit-breaker compartment just above the engine.
  I really don’t like how this was wired up. I reran the wire to the post that provides the 12v (why didn’t previous person do this?). When I get home I’ll wire up something better
