Found the Problem to No Trailer Brakes!

Hi All!

So my husband checked the ground wire and used the dielectric grease. Trailer still showed disconnected.

He then checked the breakaway. Still not connected.

The husband then got under the trailer and checked all of the splitter connections to the brakes, replaced them with better ones... still showing disconnected.

We replaced the main camper plug & wire that connects us to the truck. Still not connected.

He needed to get a recall taken care of on the RAM and happened to remember to ask about the plug-in receiver for the travel trailer. The repair man let him know they have seen a few go bad. He did order one for us... just in case. We are waiting for it to arrive.

So on a camping outing this past weekend, it started acting up again. My husband decided to pry the one prong in the Dodge's plug receiver that appeared to not be making a connection, and guess what? He solved the mystery! Silly plug on the Dodge!!!

Thanks for all of your thoughts and ideas... As you can see, we tried some of them out!!!

Happy Camping Again!!! Jerry and Brian
