Coming back from Goshen & our extended trip afterwards, we were driving through Indiana & Illinois, the road was pretty rough. The integrated brake controller on the truck started dinging & said I'd lost connection with the brakes. I pulled over on the shoulder & it was still plugged in, I briefly looked under the coach, didn't see and anything. Drove to the next rest area (without trailer brakes), & crawled under there for a better look & still didn't see a problem. I decided to continue on without brakes & look for some place to get them fixed. As we were pulling out of the rest area, they started working, and worked the rest of the way home. But sometimes the controller would ding, & by the time I'd look at it they were working. The only thing I can figure out is there is a loose wire someplace & shorts out/loses connection when I hit a bump. Yesterday DW sat in the truck & I got under the coach & wiggled every wire I could find & nothing happened, this included the umbilical cord, & were it plugs into the truck. Also, while enroute home, I unplugged the umbilical cord from the plug in, in the bed of the truck & plugged it in to the one on the bumper & it still did it. I don't know much about the electric brakes, so at this point I guess I'll have to take it to someone, but I'm afraid they'll say there has to be a problem for them to find/fix it, & right now everything is working. Anybody have any ideas?
