wiring feedback

How does my '08 V10 know there is a loose wire in my fifth wheel?

Well, the first time I found a loose connection to an auxiliary(?) freezer I keep in the front compartment. The second time I lost a magnet in one of the brakes. The led in the dashboard kept alerting me to a wiring fault on the trailer. How do it know?

Is this ALERT from the TBC (Trailer Brake Controller)? Or from where on the truck...

Perhaps a better place to ask this question may be down in the ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS/ WIRING Forum.... here: Electrical Systems/Wiring - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

The TBC only looks at the brake circuit and reports any faults. It does not look at anything else. It wouldn't see anything relative to a fridge connection.
