Has anyone experienced this?
I feel like it is a problem with the truck, not the trailer.
I have a 2018 2500 and a 2016 dump trailer that a friend just returned with his '20 GMC 3500.
e reported no problems, but the way he drives, he may not have noticed them.
The trailer brakes lock up as soon as I hook to the trailer. They unlock when I unplug the harness.
I also get a message to "check the trailer brake wiring" when connected. of course, it sounds like there is something wrong with the trailer brakes, so I manually disconnect the brake wiring at the brakes, which in-turn unlocks the brakes but the warning is still on the dash.
So it must be the harness wires from the plug to the axle, even though it is in excellent shape, right?
To test this, I connect to a friend's one-year-old trailer.
His lights come on, but my truck doesn't see his brakes; when I manually activate his trailer brakes on my dash, it says no trailer brakes detected or something to that effect.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
