Hey guys!
So, I'm building a 20' trailer and there seems to be some issues wiring in the electric brakes for it. We've gotten the 7 pin (I think thats what its called, its the big round connector) wired for the trailer and everything on the trailer works (All lights including marker lights, break-away brake actuator, etc) with the exception of the brakes themselves.
The drums we're using look just like the one in the picture. They're American made DEXTER brand, and I'm a little disappointed with them, we had to send one back already because studs were WAY out of position and it wouldn't mount a wheel... So they're probably not the best quality but I dont have any reason to think these are defective, so its probably just operator error.
They have the same two green wires as the one in the picture, and we're just supposed to ground one, and connect the other to the wire from the truck, right? They're both the same color so we weren't sure which was which, or if it mattered. My trailer brake controller won't recognize the trailer's existence and the brakes themselves arent engaging. What should I check? Thanks in advance.
