Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet for Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies

• Availability of Replacement Brake Magnet for 7k Trailer Axle Assembly
  If the assembly is humming when you apply the brakes that's a good sign. That means it's working and is totally normal to hear. I'd need to know more info on your assemblies though to pick out magnets. I'd need to know the brand if you can find it. Most likely it's a Dexter assembly and you'd need the part # BP01-225.

• Axle Kits with Electric Brakes to Replace Mobile Home Axles
  We do carry replacement magnets and other parts for electric drum brakes, including some older designs. I linked the replacement magnets we carry for 12 x 2 brakes, parts # BP01-225 and # BP01-180. However, mobile home axles are not intended for continuous use on a trailer. Mobile home axles are manufactured to be strong enough only for one use to transport the dwelling to its destination - just that one time. Mobile home axles are not safe for ongoing use on a trailer. But we do offer...

• How to Pick Out Replacement Trailer Brake Magnets
  We carry several replacement trailer brake magnets that are all designed to fit specific models of brake assemblies.

• Trailer Brakes Release Intermittently on Enclosed Car Trailer
  The fact that the braking issue happens when you are towing the trailer but not when it is sitting still for testing makes me think that there is a loose connection somewhere that is affected by movement of the trailer and vehicle. The first places to look are the vehicle and trailer side connectors. Make sure each of them is clean and free of corrosion inside where the wires attach and outside on the pins. Make sure the wiring going to the trailer brakes is not pinched or sandwiched between...

• Troubleshooting Amperage On Brake Magnets
  When you are testing the brakes you will need to sever both of the magnet wires. You can connect one of the wires to a 12-volt battery with a multimeter between the positive battery post and the magnet. Then connect the other magnet wire to the negative post of the battery. If you have 10 or 12 inch brake magnets the reading should be 3.2 to 4.0 amps at 12-13 volts. For 7 inch brake magnets the reading should be between 3.0 and 3.2 amps at 12-13 volts.

• Which Trailer Brake Magnets Do I Need to Use
  The difference between these two parts comes down to the size of the brake assembly and hubs that are on your axles. The # AKBRKR-M10 that has green wires are designed for 10" electric brake assemblies, where the # BP01-225 are designed for 12" brake assemblies. You would want to choose which one is best for your trailer brakes based off of the size of the brakes/hubs. Typically if you've got a 3500-lbs axles, you'll need the # AKBRKR-M10. If your trailer has 5200-lbs axles or larger...

  Yes, the brake shoes and magnets are available as replacement parts for 12 inch Nev-R-Adjust brake assembly # 23-464.

The cost of a magnet and shoe/lining for one brake assembly costs more than the whole assembly. Going to disc brakes is a great idea. Not only...

  Since power is reaching one of your brake assemblies, the issue could be caused by a number of other factors such as poor ground connections, brakes need to be adjusted, the electric brake circuit, or bad brake magnets. The first step I would take is to inspect the ground connections for the trailer connector and each brake magnet. If the grounds for the brake magnets are all spliced together, I recommend ground each of them to the trailer frame individually. Be sure they are grounded...
