Sounds like the trailer wiring possibly cause a short and or some feedback to the PCM and caused it to go crazy. Everything that malfunctioned is PCM controlled.
At least the turkey baster kept the brakes quiet while they malfunctioned.

Almost sounds like a BS story, but anything is possible I guess.

 

Yeah , it has gotten a lot of attention on the other forum, and a few are puttin up the b.s. flag. However after checking out some of his other posts there wasnt anything to suggest that he would be that type, but nowadays you never know. There have been other stories relating to some of the same symptoms he had, so whlie it does smell a little ,there could be some truth to it. He hasnt put up another post or reply since, so hopefully there will be a follow up from him soon. He did say that the brakes were very quite through the whole ordeal so obviously I was mistaken about those turkey basters( perfect description lol ), they were worth every penny fords engineers spent on them !!

I had to study it a while before I found the place to put the 10 mm wrench. After that, the hard part was finding a 10 mm wrench in my toolbox.
