Found this for trailer electrical plug problems

Do you have a trailer that is giving you fits over the silly electrical connector
and the integrated brake control module? You might find that this kit would
come in handy. I have not used this one but I used tools like this for cleaning
contacts. Also the chemical that comes with it has a protective coating that it
places on the contacts once you treat them with it. Here is a link on Anazon.
I would think you should be able to find it other places.
The search I used "Innovative Products of America 8028 7-Way Spade Pin Towing Maintenance Kit"


Here is the Amazon link for that item. You can also buy the chemical by it's self

Innovative Products of America 8028 7-Way Spade Pin Towing Maintenance Kit Innovative Products of America 8028 7-Way Spade Pin Towing Maintenance Kit


The search for the cleaner "CAIG DeOxit Cleaning Solution Spray, 5% spray 5oz"

CAIG DeOxit Cleaning Solution Spray, 5% spray 5oz CAIG DeOxit Cleaning Solution Spray, 5% spray 5oz



They make other cleaning kits for other contacts you may have on things
other automotive connectors and things not automotive. So many good uses.

Deoxit is great stuff. The pre EPA was better, but still great.

De-Oxit is good stuff. I don't have the brush so I dab 100% on each pin,plug and unplug a couple of times,spray 5% in connectors,plug and unplug three times then let it dry a few minutes before spraying De-Oxit Shield into connectors. The 5% spray and Shield work well on trailer light sockets.

Yeah, De-Oxit is good stuff!

I use my IBC when towing my boat. I originally had only the front axle of my tandem axle trailer using drum-type surge brakes.

After I got the F350, I installed 4 Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric brakes on both axles and connected them up to the Ford IBC and they just work flawlessly!

The boat and trailer weighs about 6000lbs and you can barely tell it's back there as far as towing .

Without brakes, 6000lbs is quite noticeable when you stop though.

After installing the electric brakes, I can hardly tell it's back there now!

I would never tow anything with surge brakes again!

Cheers,


Rick
