Troubleshooting an Adapter Module for BrakeRite EOH Brake Actuator That's Working Intermittently
Question:
I have a 5th wheel that i installed the titan brakerite disc brakes on about 4yrs ago. I installed the brake module adapter and everything worked fine. Now my trailer brakes are not working intermittently. Wondering if the module might have gone bad. I have a 2017 chevy 2500

Helpful Expert Reply:
Do you mean they are working intermittently? Because if that's what you mean, then there's a really good chance that your ground wire is the problem. Typically when things work intermittently, that means the ground has a weak connection and is causing the on / off behavior.
I'd recommend checking the ground wire first and make sure that it's making a good clean connection, and that the wire itself is in good working shape meaning there is no breaks or frays.
If after this you're still having a problem, then it's going to be an issue with the module and you'll want to replace it.
