If the white wire is the hot one to that brake you might have found the fuse blowing problem. These type of problems can be so darned elusive. One little tiny stray wire strand can be touching ground back behind something where you can't find it.
I was about driven to drink trying to find an intermittent fuse blowing problem on a 53' combine trailer in Idaho. It might go a week without blowing the fuse, one of those!! One of the crew wanted to load a combine on it and I wouldn't let him until I found the problem. The trailer was going to be crossing a scale 30 miles up the road in Wyoming and the problem HAD to be found before the trailer left. Checked EVERY inch of EVERY wire and it all looked good. Combine driver was sitting in the combine, stopped right at the bottom of the ramps with the engine running. Finally, in the back of the trailer, back behind the license plate, someone at sometime had cut a wire and just let it hang. Eventually the wire jiggled straight down so the bare end was occasionally rubbing the frame. By the time I found it you could cut the tension between the combine driver and me with a knife. I could go on and on! Jim
