Here's the deal...When coming to a stop, or slowdown, the trailer brakes lock up for an instant...then releases.

I know The brake controller is adjusted correctly as it just recnetly started to do this, but damn...it's got to be hard on the hitch...

any ideas as to why this hapens and what the remedy is would be appreciated.

If the tailer break controller is set to hard. it tripps the 30 anp breaker and wala they release because no power from break light. cool breakes again lock up and breakes breaker again

FYRMAN, we'll have to study that theory in depth since all the brake lights do is trigger the trailer brake circuit and the trailer brake system draws no juice from the brake light circuit, but what do we know? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif
