Electric Brakes stuck on... Any thoughts?
Brand new here and this is my first post. Currently my RV is out of commission and I am hoping someone can help. I just bought a 2004 Outback 26RS went on one issue free camping trip but never got to the second. My electric brakes are stuck on. I have confirmed that the breakaway switch is plugged in and functional. This all started when on day we noticed smoke emanating from the underside of the camper. After inspection I noticed that there were a few wires burned presumably do to a poor connection at the brake drums (crimp fell off?). I re-wired from the bottom of the RV through the axle housing and connected to both brake plates. I wired one hot and one ground to each. Now when a battery is connected or when connected to my truck the brakes are always on.... I sure hope I am being stupid here and there is not something more nefarious going on. I always have one lead that goes to the brake plates with 12v regardless if the brakes are applied or not.
Anyone have thoughts or questions?
