so how would I know which wires would be burned. The break away wires or electric wires for brakes. I have just put in electric over hydraulic and now I’m getting the trailer disconnected warning when braking at low speeds mainly.

If only getting the disconnect warning at low speeds, it is NOT the breakaway cable.

I have gotten the message at medium speeds usually after I have pumped the brake twice and then released and it pops up for a couple seconds and goes away. But mainly happens at low speeds. It just started after I did the disc brakes installed upgrade. It happens while parked as well if I pump the brakes a couple of times and it happens if plugged into either the socket in the bed or on the bumper. Very frustrating
