Thank you for your video, new sub here. I have a '23 Superduty that has been giving me some trailer connection faults. Turn signals, "trailer disconnected" randomly, and braking issues only with the trailer plugged into the truck. I appreciate your taking the time to put this together!

Congrats on the truck, we’ve loved our 17 super duty. Hope you’re able to solve the issue!

I have been looking at diagnostic videos for trailer brakes for the last hour. Some of these videos had hundreds of thousands of views and were not much help. This is the best, most linear and concise video on how to start diagnosing trailer brakes issues. I also like that you started with the easiest potential issues and worked towards the more difficult. Very well done!

[@SweetAdventures]

Thanks for your comment and encouragement. Glad it helped you!

We had the same problem as you did and for now I just pulled the wire tighter through the axle and taped the ends with tape. But to fix it right is to pull a wire through the axle, but otherwise you way works good but if I were you I would cover the wire with the flexible cable conduit, I saw another KZbinr do it!

[@SweetAdventures]

Thanks for the comment! It has been like this since this video was done and still working! The flexible conduit sounds like a great idea!

I had Trailer Wiring Fault with a new controller install on a 2019 F-150. I checked Fuse 24, and didn't have one installed. I borrowed a 30A fuse from the wiper, and problem was solved.

[@SweetAdventures]

Glad you were able to fix it simply!

[@mateocarlos2674]

@@SweetAdventures The fault you mentioned was fixed. I still had another problem: The trailer brakes were full on when the cable was connected between truck and trailer. Pretty sure I have a bad controller. Got it from Ebay, was supposedly OEM. We'll see. Expecting a replacement shortly.

[@SweetAdventures]

Did you confirm the emergency thing was in place and working properly? If it’s removed it will do what you described. Also the ford trucks are a little finicky with the brake controllers. They’re too smart in my opinion.

[@mateocarlos2674]

@@SweetAdventures Emergency thing? What's that?

[@SweetAdventures]

@mateocarlos2674 sorry, the breakaway switch.

[@OP-nf9bx]

If I put power through one side of the wires coming out of the hub my “ground wire” starts getting power through it

[@OP-nf9bx]

Can someone please help

[@SweetAdventures]

Hard to tell what’s going on without being in person! Hope someone local is able to help!
