Guys.......many of you know I actively support my local Australian Shepherd club in holding stockdog trials. The Club has a 14-ft trailer loaded with necessary stuff to set-up the trial course with obstacles. We hire and import judges from around the country. When you have enuff "wins", you gitt tittles to brag about and can make yer puppies worth more.
Ennyway, I hauled the club trailer NORTH 200mi and the trailer brakes slowed the trailer just fine. So this Sunday evening, I hook-up and started home. Got into some traffic and WHOA!!! NO BRAKES!!! pulled into rest stop and tried to troubleshoot. I "sanded" the 7-pin bumper plug connectors with knife blade; NO DIFF. With careful driving and pucker muscle tite I got home.
So brite'n'early I'm down at the place that sold/installed the trailer electric brake controller. Said they just had a 3pm cancellation and they would try and work me in. It had a code read-out of "NC" which means NOT CONNECTED. Turns out the controller is just fine ...but... the 7-blade bumper socket is broken inside. So I said so replace it. "Our next opening is 3pm Friday" jeeze. So sell me a new 7-blade socket ($7.50) and I'll dooer myself. So guess what I'm goin' be doin' tomorrow???
Cost me $60 for the trailer tech's inspection of the controller. I didn't have a clue. ........clueless Dell
