Electrical frustration!

        Of all problems with vehicles, electrical ones can be the most frustrating. The trailer I use to haul tractors has electrical brakes. The trailer's electrical gear, lights and brakes, conect to the trucks electrical system with a large recepticle.  When the truck lights are activated the tail lights on the trailer come on. When the truck brake pedal is depressed it also applies the trailer brakes.

     The lights work but the brakes on the trailer don't. A wiry young man, named Montana, lives two doors down from The Little House. He crawled under the trailer and truck looking for loose wires to no avail. All the connectors were removed and cleaned...still no brakes. As darkness descended we gave up for the day, stymied by an electrical conundrum. Wouldn't it be nice if the problem would simply resolve on its own? Ya, right!
