brake wiring
While towing, our Prodigy controller started intermittedly flashing "SH", which means short, and then n.c. which means not connected. (The brake lights, blinkers, and running lights all still work fine).Then it would be normal for a while and then repeat the above. I looked under the RV (2008 29CK) and saw that two black wires from a front brake were hanging down. It looked like they should be wired together so I did. Was fine for a while and then started repeating the above. Looked under again and saw there were also two other wires (a red and a white from the harness) that looked as if they had been "rubbed" until they broke. I couldn't see any other wires to hook them to, so I stopped at a place that assembles stock trailers and they said that the red, white, and two blacks on that front drivers side RV wheel are usually all connected together so they did. The brakes worked for about 10 miles and then started repeating the "SH" message on the controller. We are still about 350 miles from home and luckily I have an exhaust brake that I can assist the truck brakes with. The RV brake controller does show a low (2-3) reading when I use the brakes and seems to have some stopping power, but once i let off the pedal it again shows the "SH" reading once again. Tonight, I have replaced all the old quick connect wiring connectors they used to wire the power cord receiver on the truck and am still getting the "SH" reading.
I also checked the wires for wear on both sides where they go into the axle and see none.
First off, are the white, red, and two black wires supposed to be connected together on the front drivers side wheel brake?
Secondly, what else could cause this problem and how can I check for it?
Thank you!
