ISSUE:
Breakaway Emergency Brake Switch
The wires for the breakaway switch are
feeding into the box through two small holes with no protection from
the rough edges. One of these wires is hot all the time and could
short against the box and cause the breaker to trip.
The other wire becomes hot if you have a disaster and lose the
trailer. If it were to short to ground, you would never know it
until you lost the trailer and the brakes failed to activate.
Something about a hot wire rubbing right on the
sharp metal edge of a box just isn't right to me (Before).
So, I re-routed the wires along the existing wire harness and
made it go through the box using the existing connector (After).
This box is located on the frame, under the propane tank. While
you are checking and possibly fixing this issue please consider
this other mod listed
