Introduction to Troubleshooting
Proper brake function is critical to the safe operation of any
vehicle. If problems are encountered with your trailer braking
system, the following guide can be used to find the causes and
remedies for some of the more common problems. If you are
unsure or unable to resolve the problem, please contact your
nearest repair facility for professional assistance.
Troubleshooting
Most electric brake malfunctions, that cannot be corrected by
either brake adjustments or synchronization adjustments, can
generally be traced to electrical system failure. Voltmeters and
ammeters are essential tools for proper troubleshooting of electric
brakes.
Mechanical causes are ordinarily obvious, i.e. bent or broken
parts, worn out linings or magnets, seized lever arms or shoes,
scored drums, loose parts, etc. Replace defective parts with
genuine Dexter replacements.
Please consult the following troubleshooting charts to determine
the causes and solutions for common problems found in trailer
braking systems.
!
CAUTION
Best braking performance is achieved with a controller
setting that is just short of wheel lock up or slide. Overly
aggressive braking which results in wheel lock up and
sliding, can cause a dangerous loss of control and result
in personal injury or death.
