Hooked up today to get new wheels on the Roadwarrior. Before even leaving my RV pad, I noticed the brake controller flashing red and reading "Overload, NO BRAKES". Sure enough, pulled the manual lever on the P3 and no brakes. Doing some basic troubleshooting and either the P3 is bad or I have a short somewhere in the system. From underneath the 5'er, all wiring looks good. I haven't started taking wheels off to pull brake drums yet.
A few questions:
-Is there a seperate battery for the emergency braking system? I doubt it.. I just assume its using the BATTS in the RV.
-Where does the system ground? I assume somewhere in the generator cabinet where the BATTS and wiring is. But I don't know exactly where.
Tomorrow, I may just buy another P3 to rule that out (or in). If the P3 is good, then its looking like I need to start removing wheels and examining the magnets/wiring on each drum/axle. What a pain!
Any other recommendations appreciated. I have a week-long camping trip coming up next wed, so time isn't my friend right now.
