Trust your Brake Control computer
I've been getting a "wiring fault on trailer" message intermittently for quite a while. I repaired one brake last summer and the warning went away. On the way to Florida it came on again for awhile and then off. I was really starting to think the fault was in the truck. But before I took it in I decided to try once more to find the problem on the trailer. After a lengthy process which you can read in my post on the "RV towing" forum below I finally found this wire inside the rear axle. Gotta love those computers.

Post that again one more time, I don't get to see (or hear) that very often!

I don't think you've seen me being critical of our trucks or our techs. Things are getting so sophistcated lately that it's a learning curve for everyone. The only thing I hate to see, and I'm sure it's brand wide, is when valid warranty claims are denied. Some I'm sure have more issues involved than what we see here.

Oh yea I've had this happen on all three of my trucks that have had IBC. Every single time it's been the trailers that had the issue.
