Sorry my note sounded surlier than I meant.

I agree it's good to check the wiring before he goes tearing things apart and replacing magnets.
It's a durn sight easier to check his voltage at each, and to pop the plug out of the backing plate and adjust the brake than it is to pull a wheel and wind up having to replace a dinged up seal after you find out the magnet is okay.

That adjustment is something that can be easily donew from the outside. He said he has a little noise, but I've found that even a slack adjustment will make a little noise -- usually periodic, not steady. Everybody has a different sense of where that point is that they actually start to drag -- that point where they then need to back it up a notch . I leave the tire on my wheel when I'm adjusting -- makes it easier to feel the actual drag of the brake as I adjust it out.

I pointed it out only because I have had magnets go bad, and I've had my share of electrical gremlins, from brakes to light, but I've always had to adjust brakes periodically, even on those where the electrics have been fine.
