trailer brakes

[mas3372 14]

Hello,

I got my trailer out of my storage shop today for the first time in 3 months. Driving home I had no brakes. The brake controller was showing 0 on the digital display and when I would hold the manaul control in, I would getting a reading of how much braking, but still no brakes.

The fact that I am getting readings tells me the brakes wiring should be good.

A friend was saying that perhaps the battery on the trailer was dead, but I thought that was for the breakway event only.

Anyone have any thoughts.

Thanks, MIke

Can't help you much here but the battery is just for the breakaway kit.

Should not affect the brakes.

Thanks for the help. I figured that. I did just go back out and cleaned the connections real good. I had all the lights and blinkers, just no breaks. I cleaned them and its now reading that they are being applied. I just have to test them tomorrow.
