Hi John,

Read Ray's reply as I think he read it correct as you have a wiring problem on the trailer, probably a bad ground. Frame grounds are not allowed. The ground wire has to be seperate wire that runs the full length.

Trailer wired correct according to Dexter?

Could be in the 7pin plug.

If you have a DVOM take a voltage measurement before you start tearing down or move the gain control.

Measure the positive as well as the negitive side as see if you get the same numbers, or close.

No DVOM, then use a 12v test lite and watch for the brightness.

Then go back to each brake and repeat the test on each brake lead.

Take a compass and see if each brake has eddy currents around the magnets. The compass needle will move when the brakes are applied with the compass held close by.

If the voltage reading is close or the brightness and the compass needle moves strong then look for a mechanical problem.

Even if it does check out I would still take a inspection look inside each brake.
